cereal crops
Wheat, oats, barley
Cereal crops are grains cultivated for food—wheat, rice, corn, oats, barley, rye, and others.
The term distinguishes these staple agricultural products from other crops like vegetables or cotton.
Cereal crops form the foundation of global food systems, providing most of humanity's calories directly or as animal feed.
