Wheat grass cultivated for cereal grain

A hard drum can be used to grind raw wheat into semolina or flour. Raw wheat can also be crushed or sliced into cracked wheat, parboiled, dried, crushed, and de-branned into bulgur, also known as groats. 

The outer husk or bran can be used in a variety of ways if the raw wheat is divided into pieces at the mill, as is typically done. Bread, porridge, crackers, biscuits, muesli, pancakes, pasta, pies, pastries, pizza, semolina, cakes, cookies, muffins, rolls, doughnuts, gravy, beer, vodka, boza, and breakfast cereals all include a significant amount of wheat.

It is advantageous to use gluten to provide viscoelastic functional properties to dough in order to prepare a variety of processed foods, including breads, noodles, and pasta that encourage the intake of wheat.
