Wild species of wheat have been reported from the archaeological site of Tell Mureybat on the banks of the Euphrates, dated at about 800 BC. Species of wheat appeared in India, probably before the beginning of the Christian era. Wheat has been cultivated in India for over 5,000 years. Wheat has become the principal cereal, being more widely used for the making of bread than any other cereal becuase of high quality protein in it, called Gluten.
Wheat contains several medicinal virtues, every part of the whole wheat grain supplies elements needed by the human body. Starch and gluten in wheat provide heat and energy:the inner bran coats, phosphates and other mineral salts; the outer bran, the much-needed roughage- the indigestible portion which helps easy movement of bowels.
Chlorophyll, one of the main constituents of wheat grass is very beneficial for the body. by drinking this juice regularly, toxins can be neutralised and helps to maintain good health.
