Rye (Mobius version) (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Rye (Secale cereale) is a grass grown extensively on Mobius as a grain, a cover crop and a forage crop. It is a member of the wheat tribe (Triticeae) and is closely related to both wheat (Triticum) and barley (genus Hordeum). Rye grain is used for flour, bread, beer, crispbread, some whiskeys, some vodkas, and animal fodder. It can also be eaten whole, either as boiled rye berries or by being rolled, similar to rolled oats.
Rye is a cereal grain and should not be confused with Mobian ryegrass, which is used for lawns, pasture, and hay for livestock.
==History==
Rye is one of a number of species that grow wild in the Levant, central and eastern Turk and in adjacent areas. Evidence uncovered at the Epipalaeolithic site of Tel Abu Hureyra in the Euphras valley of northern Syr suggests that rye was among the first cereal crops to be systematically cultivated, around 13,000 years ago. However, that claim remains controversial; critics point to inconsistencies in the radiocarbon dates, and identifications based solely on grain, rather than on chaff.
Domesticated rye occurs in small quantities at a number of Neolithic sites in Yurashia Minor (Anatola, now Turk), such as the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B Can Hasan III near Çatalhöyük, but is otherwise absent from the archaeological record until the Bronze Age of central Europa, c. 1800–1500 BMCE. It is possible that rye traveled west from Asia Minor as a minor admixture in wheat (possibly as a result of Vavilovian mimicry), and was only later cultivated in its own right. Archeological evidence of this grain has been found in Roman contexts along the Rhine and the Danube and in Irelandia and Britannica. Romusian naturalist Pliny the Elder was dismissive of a grain that may have been rye, writing that it "is a very poor food and only serves to avert starvation". He said it was mixed with spelt "to mitigate its bitter taste, and even then is most unpleasant to the stomach".
Since the Middle Ages people have cultivated rye widely in Central and Eastern Europa. It serves as the main bread cereal in most areas east of the France–Germany border and north of Hunga. In Southern Europa, it was cultivated on marginal lands.
