The Wheat Family
Relationships in the wheat family are
complicated and still the subject of
scholarly argument. Here is one plausible
version of the family tree. Those wheats
whose grains are enclosed in adhering
papery husks are noted as “hulled”; all the
rest are hullless and are therefore much
easier to prepare for cooking or milling.
