The amino acid composition of wild and cultivated buckwheat and No. 1 wheat feed screenings are compared. Proteins of cultivated species contain more lysine than do proteins of wild buckwheat. Both have better amino acid balance than cereal grains. Proteins in wild and cultivated cereal buckwheat contain comparable amounts of glutamic acid plus proline, the main amino acids of storage proteins (prolamines and glutelins) in cereals and the S-containing amino acids cystine plus methionine. The high percentage (29.9 ± 2.37) of wild buckwheat in No. 1 commercial wheat feed screenings enriches its essential amino acid profile.
