wheat
Bread varies from land to land but it's a staple on the dinner plate of humans and elves almost everywhere our people can be found. Wheat flour is found in the crust of pies and pastries and is used as a thickening agent in broths and can even be fermented."-Almon Genmaer, grey elf sailorby Eron12 with Hero Forge"Wheat is probably the most prevalent crop in all of Scarterra. Pretty much everywhere where wheat can be planted, wheat is planted unless the land is better suited for another crop, even then humans are stubborn and like wheat, they may try anyway. Wheat flour can be made into a wide variety of things but it is best known for being the principle ingredient in breads.

Uses, Products & Exploitation
The lord decides how much flour each family needs rather than the ones doing the actual work making that decision. Also, the flour itself helps cement the social classes. Fine ground flour goes to the nobility and coarse ground flour goes to the commoners.""Wheat is tasty is enough, but it is not the taste or nutritional value that makes it so popular. It's a method to allow the nobles to keep another means of control over the commoners. Wheat is difficult to use if it's not ground into flour and the nobles control all the mills. The peasants, serfs, and/or slaves grow the wheat and take their entire harvests to the lord's mill then the lord gives them flour back
