Did you know? Wheat grows from seeds on a farm, just like vegetables do.

When you soften wheat berries in water and keep them damp, they will sprout. You can see their tiny white roots and stems. Flour is made by grinding wheat berries. Before we had factories, this was done by rubbing the grains between two stones. Wheat is a grain — an important part of MyPlate, the guide for helping children make healthy food choices. Children need a colorful diet of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy/dairy substitutes to grow up healthy.
