Wheat.gifWheat (Triticum spp.) is a grass that is cultivated worldwide. Globally, it is the most important human food grain and ranks second in total production as a cereal crop behind maize; the third being rice. 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 bio-fuel. The husk of the grain, separated when milling white flour, is bran.
