Triticum aestivum (wheat)

Triticum aestivum, commonly known as wheat, is a widely cultivated cereal grain that serves as a staple food worldwide. It is a member of the grass family and produces wheat kernels, which are ground into flour used for bread, pasta, and other foods. Wheat plants grow from seeds, develop tall stalks with leaves, and bear clusters of grains called ears. Rich in carbohydrates and some proteins, wheat provides essential energy and nutrients. It plays a crucial role in global agriculture and food security, with various wheat varieties adapted to different climates and farming practices.
