*’grains’ are [small / hard / dry] seeds*
[with or without attached ‘hulls’ or ‘fruit layers’] –
harvested for ‘human / ‘animal’ consumption)
.
(“grain crops” are ‘grain seed-producing plants’)
.
(the 2 main types of ‘commercial grain crops’ are…)
‘cereals’
(wheat / rye)
‘legumes’
(beans / soybeans)
.
(after being harvested, dry grains are more durable than other staple foods, such as starchy fruits (plantains, breadfruit, etc.) and tubers (sweet potatoes, cassava, and more))
(this durability has made grains well suited to industrial agriculture, since they can be mechanically harvested, transported by rail or ship, stored for long periods in silos, and milled for flour or pressed for oil)
.
(thus, major global commodity markets exist for…)
(‘canola’ / ‘maize’ / ‘rice’ / ‘soybeans’ / ‘wheat’ / other ‘grains’ / …)
(…but not for ‘tubers’ / ‘vegetables’ / other ‘crops’)
