About Wheat

Wheat is a versatile grain that has been a dietary staple for millennia, originating in the Middle East and now cultivated worldwide. It is the foundation for a variety of foods, including bread, pasta, and cereals, making it a cornerstone of cuisines across many cultures. Nutritionally, wheat is a rich source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and contains essential nutrients such as fiber, B vitamins, magnesium, and iron. Whole wheat products are particularly valued for their fiber content, which supports digestion and heart health. However, refined wheat, common in white flour products, loses much of its nutritional benefits during processing. Additionally, wheat contains gluten, which can be problematic for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Choosing whole wheat over refined options is a healthier choice for most, helping to maintain balanced energy levels and overall well-being.
