Wheat
Wheat is a grass that is cultivated worldwide. Globally, it is the
most important human food grain and ranks second in total production

Wheat grain is a staple food used to make flour for leavened, flat
and steamed breads; cookies, cakes, pasta, noodles and couscous;
and for fermentation to make beer, alcohol, vodka or biofuel. Wheat
is planted to a limited extent as a forage crop for livestock and
the straw can be used as fodder for livestock or as a construction
material for roofing thatch.
