What does WHEAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A cereal grass widely grown for its grain, which is ground into flour for bread, pasta and other foods.
Wheat has been one of the most important food crops in human history, feeding populations across Europe, Asia and the Americas for thousands of years. Farmers grow wheat in vast fields and harvest the grain once the plant's golden heads have ripened, after which mills grind it into the flour used for bread, pasta and countless baked goods. Different varieties of wheat suit different products, with hard wheat favoured for bread and softer wheat better suited to cakes and pastries. Beyond food, wheat straw is also used for animal bedding and various craft purposes after the grain has been removed.
