Grains are the seed heads of grass plants.
Over time, certain species of grasses were found to produce seeds that people preferred over others. Major grain categories in the world are wheat, rice, corn, barley, oats, and rye. Oats and barley are used mainly as animal feed, but it is also used for molting and baking. Wheat is used both for human consumption and livestock feed. Smaller amounts of rye, linseed sunflowers, lavender and now even lupins are also grown.
