Wheat

Wheat, with hollow stems and spike-shaped flowers, is the only annual herbaceous plant species that has been bred all over the world. It is an essential nutrient that can be separated from its shell or grinded with its shell. The germ of the wheat grain is extraordinarily nutritious. Calcium, iron and zinc absorbed by the body are stored here. It contains B vitamins and carbohydrates. Its nutritional value is potentially higher than oats and corn. While it is the basic raw material of the flour industry, it is also grown as a feed material for farm animals. After the harvest, straw bales come out as a waste product. In classifications made according to chromosome numbers and genome formulas, they are divided into three main groups as spa group, durum wheat group and bread wheat group. Wheat grown under the spa group is mostly used as animal feed and partially as bulgur.
