Cereals, or grains, are members of the grass family (Poaceae) cultivated primarily for their starchy dry fruits. Wheat, rice, corn (maize), rye, oats, barley, sorghum, and some of the millets are common cereals.
Wheat seeds are often available at gardening and DIY stores or online. Check that the seeds are the right ones for the time of year you’re planting:
1. Winter wheat is planted in the autumn and harvested from mid-May.
2. Spring wheat is planted in the spring and harvested in autumn.
Both spring and winter wheat are divided into:
1. Soft wheat, which has a low gluten content and is used for pastries and crackers,
Hard wheat which is high in gluten and used for bread, and durum wheat which is used for pasta.
2. The type that’s best for you will depend on where you live. It’s worth asking for advice in the gardening store you buy your seeds from.
