LET'S PLAY TRIVIA!
You know that straw
is the dried stem of the wheat plant, but you
might not know:
- Wheat originated in the “cradle of civilization”
in the Tigris and
Euphrates river valley,
near what is now Iraq.
-
42 states in the U.S.
grow wheat. Kansas consistently leads in
number of bushels grown, with North Dakota holding the runnerup position.
-One bushel of wheat contains about one million individual kernels.
