The contents of zinc in various samples of buckwheat were analyzed. A variation in the zinc content of various cultivated buckwheat seeds, including tetraploid, was found. On the other hand, there was less or substantially no difference in zinc content between common buckwheat and tartary buckwheat. The content of zinc in commercial buckwheat flours available in Japan was in a range from 0.63 mg to 2.38 mg per 100 g flour; and the content of zinc in buckwheat flours available in Slovenia was relatively higher than those in Japan. The nutritional implications of these findings are discussed
