-aย cerealย is any ‘grass’ cultivated for the edible components of itsย grainย (botanically, a type ofย fruitย called aย caryopsis), composed of theย endosperm,ย germ, andย bran-
.
(‘cereal grains’ are grown in greater quantities and provide more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop and are therefore ‘staple crops’)
.
(edible grains from other plant families, such as buckwheat (Polygonaceae), quinoa (Amaranthaceae) and chia (Lamiaceae), are referred to as ‘pseudocereals’)
(in their natural form (as in whole grain), cereals are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, oils, and protein)
(when refined by the removal of the bran and germ, the remaining endosperm is mostly carbohydrate)
(in some developing nations, grain in the form of rice, wheat, millet, or maize constitutes a majority of daily sustenance)
(in developed nations, cereal consumption is moderate and varied but still substantial)
.
*the word cereal is derived from “ceres“, the roman goddess of ‘harvest’ + ‘agriculture’*
