Abstract		Buckwheat products represent traditional and very popular food in Slovenia. Ingestion of buckwheat flour foods has recently resulted in human poisonings due to contamination of buckwheat grain with seeds of jimsonweed (Datura stramonium L.); a poisonous plant which may grow among buckwheat as a weed. Constituents of jimsonweed include among others very toxic alkaloids: atropine and scopolamine. The following article summarises the main features of buckwheat use in Slovenia, main features of jimsonweed, together with properties and effects of atropine and scopolamine.
Summary		Izdelki iz ajde so v Sloveniji tradicionalno in zelo priljubljeno živilo. Uživanje ajdove moke je nedavno povzročilo zastrupitve pri ljudeh zaradi onesnaženosti ajdovega zrnja s semeni kristavca (Datura stramonium L.) Kristavec je strupena rastlina, ki lahko raste med ajdo kot plevel in med drugim vsebuje tudi zelo strupena alkaloida atropin in skopolamin. Članek povzema glavne značilnosti uporabe ajde v Sloveniji, značilnosti kristavca, lastnosti ter učinke atropina in skopolamina.
