What is wheat?

Wheat is like a special kind of plant that grows tall and gives us food to eat.

Wheat starts as tiny seeds in the ground. When it gets enough water and sunlight, those seeds grow into strong, green plants with long stalks and bunches of golden grains at the top, just like how your hair grows from your head!

When the wheat is ready, farmers cut it down and bring it to a special place where they dry it out. This makes the grains hard and full of energy, kind of like how you feel after eating a big breakfast.

Then, people grind those grains into flour, think of it like turning sand into soft powder. That flour is used to make things like bread, cookies, and pasta, which are all parts of our daily meals.

So wheat isn’t just one thing; it’s like the starting point for a whole family of foods we eat every day!
