Wheat
Wheat is a cereal grain whose kernels may be cooked whole or milled into flour and other products, with variety and processing affecting texture.
About Wheat
Wheat is a cereal grain harvested as kernels, with a bran outer layer, starchy endosperm and germ. Whole kernels may be red or white and hard or soft; their flavour is mild and wheaty, while texture depends on variety and cooking.
It is milled into flour and other products, or cooked and eaten as whole kernels. Whole wheat, refined flour and processed wheat products are different forms, and descriptions should identify which part or processing level is meant.
