Wheat Harvesting
k
When the wheat plant reaches its final stage in the growing process,
meaning it is dry enough and no green is showing, it is ready to be
harvested. A combine is used to harvest the crop. This machine combines
reaping, threshing, and winnowing. The edible wheat is put into the back of
the combine.
All whole grain kernel contains three parts: the bran, the germ, and endosperm. Each section houses health-promoting nutrients. The bran is the fiber-rich outer layer that supplies B vitamins, iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, antioxidants, and phytochemicals.
Phytochemicals are natural chemical compounds in plants that have been researched for their role in disease prevention. The germ is the core of the seed where growth occurs; it is rich in healthy fats, vitamin E, B vitamins, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. The endosperm is the interior layer that holds carbohydrates, protein, and small amounts of some B vitamins and minerals.
