Wheat is… a
cereal crop that is part of the grass family and is
important to agriculture. Other grasses or cereal crops we
grow are: oats, barley, rye and corn |
 |
We can grind the seeds or kernels into flour to use in many other
food products such as bread and pizza dough. Can you think of any
other foods that use flour? |
|
|
Whole wheat flour is made by grinding the entire
wheat kernel, including the bran |
|
|
Enriched white flour has added vitamins and minerals that are
removed during milling. It is healthy and gives your body iron,
fiber and B vitamins called thiamin, niacin and riboflavin. |

Back in 1878 Manitoba’s first Mennonite settlement built Canada’s
first grain elevator in Niverville. |

Today many countries want our wheat because it makes such good bread
and pasta. |
