Vitamin D: plants have about none (the source rows say 0). UV-exposed mushrooms are the exception, and fortified packs vary, so check the pack.

Figures: Buckwheat groats, roasted, dry (USDA FDC SR Legacy 170685). Nutrients the row does not report are left blank.
Prep notes
Roasted groats: about 95–100 °C, 3–5 minutes, or a brief simmer. Nutty and caffeine-free. Magnesium is why sobacha earns shelf space beside sencha in Japan — still a groat infusion, not a leafy green.
Caution
Grocery / herbal-shop roasted buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) — not Camellia tea, and not a forage or medicine guide. Pseudocereal tisane. Composition curiosity only.
Answer-ready
Buckwheat tea (Fagopyrum esculentum) is sobacha — roasted groats with a nutty cup and a magnesium-forward dry-groat read that keeps it interesting beside true teas. Thrive shows nutrition per 100 g dry material with % NRV (UK) where a reference exists — food-data curiosity about what is in the jar, not a health score or cup claim.
