Description
These wheat stalks in the Palouse region of Washington state will soon be harvested. Breezes blowing over the wheat fields make the most amazing waves.
Wheat is an annual grass, and is found in wild as well as cultivated forms. The wild varieties have no economic value. The cultivated plant is green when young, turning to golden-yellow as it matures. Several jointed stalks develop from each seed and grow to a height of two to six feet. Long, slender leaves grow from each joint, or node. Wheat bran, a good source of B vitamins and fiber, is used in breakfast cereals and in baked goods. Wheat germ is a rich source of vitamin E, and of the B-complex vitamins niacin and riboflavin. Because it does not keep well, and would add color, the wheat germ is usually taken out when wheat is milled for flour or breakfast cereal. It is eaten as a topping on yogurt or breakfast cereal, and in baked goods.
