Wheat\u00a0is a\u00a0grass\u00a0widely\u00a0cultivated\u00a0for its\u00a0seed, a\u00a0cereal\u00a0grain that is a worldwide\u00a0staple food. The\u00a0many species of wheat\u00a0together make up the genus\u00a0Triticum\u00a0(\/\u02c8tr\u026at\u026ak\u0259m\/);[3]\u00a0the most widely grown is\u00a0common wheat\u00a0(T. aestivum). The\u00a0archaeological record\u00a0suggests that wheat was first cultivated in the regions of the\u00a0Fertile Crescent\u00a0around 9600 BC. Botanically, the wheat kernel is a\u00a0caryopsis, a type of\u00a0fruit.<\/p>\n

Wheat is grown on more land area than any other food crop (220.7\u00a0million hectares or 545\u00a0million acres, 2021). World trade in wheat is greater than for all other crops combined. In 2021, world wheat production was 771\u00a0million\u00a0tonnes\u00a0(850\u00a0million short tons), making it the second most-produced cereal after\u00a0maize\u00a0(known as corn in the US and Australia; wheat is often called corn in other countries). Since 1960, world production of wheat and other grain crops has tripled and is expected to grow further through the middle of the 21st century. Global demand for wheat is increasing because of the usefulness of\u00a0gluten\u00a0to the food industry.<\/p>\n

Wheat is an important source of\u00a0carbohydrates. Globally, it is the leading source of\u00a0vegetable proteins\u00a0in human food, having a protein content of about 13%, which is relatively high compared to other major cereals but relatively low in\u00a0protein quality\u00a0(supplying\u00a0essential amino acids). When eaten as the\u00a0whole grain, wheat is a source of multiple\u00a0nutrients\u00a0and\u00a0dietary fiber. In a small part of the general population, gluten \u2013 which comprises most of the protein in wheat \u2013 can trigger\u00a0coeliac disease,\u00a0noncoeliac gluten sensitivity,\u00a0gluten ataxia, and\u00a0dermatitis herpetiformis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
