Wheat is a grain plant whose seeds are ground into flour to make bread, pasta, and many other foods.
“Wheat” comes from Old English “hwǣte,” related to a root meaning “white,” probably from the light color of the grain or flour. It is related to names for grain in other Germanic languages.
Wheat quietly powers much of human civilization; fields of it are stored sunlight turned into food. Its gluten proteins give bread dough its stretchy, airy structure, making those fluffy loaves possible.
