Today it is used as food for bees, which produce a dark and robustly flavored honey in return. For human consumption it can be used to make pastas, cereals and pancakes. It's also a popular upholstery filler for people with allergies or sensitivities to synthetic materials making buckwheat hulls bulk a great alternative.
