cereal crop
Wheat or oats
A cereal crop is a grass cultivated for its edible grain—wheat, rice, corn, oats, barley, rye.
These crops form the foundation of human agriculture and diet worldwide, providing staple carbohydrates.
The term distinguishes grain-producing plants from other agricultural crops like vegetables or legumes: Farmers rotated cereal crops with soybeans to restore soil nitrogen.
