Wheat — the world's most-traded grain, ground to flour for global breads, noodles, pasta, pastries. Hard winter wheat for bread; soft for cake.
Where it comes from
Wheat, domesticated in the Fertile Crescent over ten thousand years ago, is the grain that fed the rise of civilization and remains the world's most widely grown cereal.
In the kitchen
Whole berries are simmered into porridges and salads; milled, it becomes the flour behind bread, pasta and noodles.
