Wheat

Description

Wheat, a widely cultivated cereal grain, is a staple food across the globe. Belonging to the grass family Poaceae, its various species form the genus Triticum. Common wheat (Triticum aestivum) reigns supreme among cultivated wheats. We use wheat to produce a wide variety of food products like bread, pasta, flour, couscous, bulgur, and semolina. It even contributes to bioethanol, a renewable fuel source. Wheat offers a valuable source of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber, along with essential vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and B vitamins.
