Natural Wheat Seeds

Wheat is a grass widely cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain that is a worldwide staple food. The many species of wheat together make up the genus Triticum (/?tr?t?k?m/); the most widely grown is common wheat (T. aestivum). Wheat seed is an oblong shape with a blunt tip. The seed is gold to pale yellow in colour, with a papery texture. It is 6mm in length. The wheat seedling produces a slender coleoptile, followed by a true leaf. Wheat is a bunch grass with upright tillers. The leaves are rolled in the whorl. Leaf blades are smooth near the base and rough near tip on the upper side.
