Wheat has its origins in ancient Mesopotamia. The ancient archaeological evidence of wheat cultivation comes from Syria, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq. About 8 millennia ago, a mutation or hybridization occurred in the wild wheat, resulting in a plant with larger seeds, which could not have been disseminated by the wind.

Wheat was the main food to be grown on the initiative of human beings, otherwise it could not have been successful in the wild; This fact provoked an authentic agricultural revolution in the so-called fertile crescent.

Simultaneously, the domestication of sheep and goats was developed, wild species that inhabited the region, which allowed the settlement of the population and with it the formation of more complex communities.

Agriculture demanded continuous care, which generated a consciousness in human beings about time and seasons, forcing to keep proportions for times not very productive, taking into account the benefits of grains of wheat to facilitate storage for a long time.

The seed of wheat was introduced to the civilization of Egypt and then began in the cultivation in the valley of the Nile. The consumption of wheat and bread in the Roman Empire was of great importance that is also confirmed in the Bible.

Juan 12:24
Truly, truly, I say to you that if the grain of wheat does not fall to the ground and die, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.
