Wheat is one of the three most demanded cereals worldwide, being used mainly as a flour after milling the grain. This food is rich in fiber, calories, vitamin B and E, as well as a large amount of minerals.

Wheat is primarily a source of energy (carbohydrates), but it also contains significant amounts of other important nutrients such as protein, fiber, lipids, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that can contribute to a healthy diet.
