Wheat is a cereal grain that is a staple food worldwide. It is grown in many countries and is a primary ingredient in bread, pasta, and baked goods. Wheat is typically milled into flour, which is then used in a wide variety of food products.

Why it's used

Health notes

While not a major allergen, some individuals have a sensitivity or intolerance to wheat, most notably celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat. The WHO/IARC has not classified wheat itself as a carcinogen.
