Chapter VI − CEREALS
CEREALS (cultivated grasses) rank first among vegetable foods; being of hardy growth and
easy cultivation, they are more widely diffused over the globe than any of the flowering
plants.
They include wheat, oats, rye, barley, maize (Indian corn), and rice; some authorities place
buckwheat among them. Wheat probably is the most largely consumed; next to wheat, comes
rice.
