Cereals

Cereals are grass plants cultivated primarily for their edible seeds, which are a major source of human and animal nutrition worldwide. Common cereals include wheat, rice, corn, barley, oats, and rye. The seeds are harvested and processed into a variety of food products such as bread, pasta, breakfast cereals, and snacks. Cereals are rich in carbohydrates, providing a primary energy source, and often contain essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They play a crucial role in global agriculture and diets, supporting both nutrition and economic stability.
