WHEAT

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the most widely grown cereal grains globally and a staple food in many cultures. It is primarily used to produce flour, which is the foundation of numerous food products like bread, pasta, cakes, and cereals. Wheat is rich in carbohydrates, providing essential energy for the body, and it also contains a moderate amount of protein. It is an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins (like thiamine, niacin, and folate), iron, magnesium, and zinc. Whole wheat, which includes the bran, germ, and endosperm, is particularly nutrient-dense, offering fiber that supports digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Wheat is versatile and can be consumed in various forms, from whole wheat bread to wheat germ and wheat bran. It is a key component of the human diet due to its nutritional profile, availability, and ability to be processed into a wide variety of foods.
