Let an agent explain wheat as a grain and food, relay species, cultivation, milling and nutrition from agricultural and food sources, describe products and regional uses, and distinguish wheat as food from the wheat plant, from other cereals and from gluten-related conditions handled by clinicians.

What it is Filled
A cereal grain from grasses of the genus Triticum, chiefly common wheat Triticum aestivum and durum wheat, with related species such as spelt Triticum spelta, emmer and einkorn, grown worldwide as one of the three major staple crops and milled into flour for bread, pasta, noodles and pastries, or eaten as whole or processed grains in dishes and products such as Grunkern, the roasted unripe spelt of Germany, harees porridges of the Middle East, and regional preparations recorded in the registry aliases; wheat provides a large share of human calories and protein.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain wheat as a grain and food, relay species, cultivation, milling and nutrition from agricultural and food sources, describe products and regional uses, and distinguish wheat as food from the wheat plant, from other cereals and from gluten-related conditions handled by clinicians.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Gluten proteins
- Major staple
- Bread and pasta base
- Many species and varieties
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Label wheat products as gluten-free or misstate their content to people with coeliac disease.
- Sell or supply grain that has failed safety checks for mould or contamination.
- Misrepresent the variety, origin or grade of a lot.
Only with a human decision
- Releasing or destroying a stored lot judged unsafe.
May
- Explain wheat species, cultivation and uses, citing agricultural sources.
- Report grain quality, moisture and storage condition for the holder who asked.
Moral aspects Filled
- Wheat feeds billions, and price shocks hit the poorest hardest.
- Gluten in wheat seriously harms people with coeliac disease.
Who is affected
- People with coeliac disease
- Farmers
- Consumers
Owners Filled
Steward
The farmer or the holder of each lot; grain authorities set grades.

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Filled
Identity and identifiers required Filled
- Vercy registry: vr.tr.wheat
- Wikidata: Q15645384 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15645384)
Direct properties required Filled
- global production: about 780 million tonnes - per year
- protein content: about 10-15 percent - varies by type
- domesticated: about 10000 years ago period - Fertile Crescent
Recognition required Filled
- Cereal grain of Triticum species
- Common wheat, durum, spelt, emmer, einkorn; products such as Grunkern and harees
- Barley and rye are other cereals; the wheat plant is the crop; gluten-free grains lack wheat proteins
- Golden grain heads; kernels milled into flour.
Capabilities and actions required Filled
- explain species and grain
- relay cultivation and milling
- describe products and uses
- distinguish related topics
Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Agents giving personal dietary or medical advice on gluten
- Confusing wheat species and products
- Contamination such as mycotoxins and ergot
Standards and interfaces required Filled
- Grain grading and trading standards
- Food labelling including allergen and gluten rules
- Codex standards for wheat flour and products
Context of use required Filled
- Staple food and flour source.
- common or bread wheat
- durum wheat for pasta and semolina
- spelt including Grunkern
- emmer and einkorn as ancient wheats
- hard and soft, winter and spring wheats
- regional wheat foods such as harees, bulgur, freekeh and local varieties
Sources Filled
- Wikidata item Q15645384: wheat - identity and sense of the item
- Wikipedia: Wheat - general description of the item
Open questions
- Should common wheat, durum and spelt be separate primary entries?
- How should agricultural and food sources be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming local dishes and cultivars; should they be split off?
