Wheat is one of the world’s most cultivated crops and is the second most produced grain in the world, beaten only by corn. Wheat is also consumed more than any other grain in the world except for rice and provides 20% of the global population’s daily protein intake.

One of the main reasons why wheat is an important dietary staple across so many regions is due to its ability to be produced in many different types of soils and climates.

Different Types of Wheat

There are two primary categories: winter wheat and summer wheat, which are classified based on their growing season. They’re then sub-categorised based on hardness, colour, and shape. You can find information on these subcategories in the table below.
