Wheat flour is an essential ingredient in bread, cakes, cookies, and most baked goods. It is a powder made from grinding wheat, making is usable for human consumption. There are different types of wheat flour, distinguished by the amount of gluten they contain, their color, the parts of the grain used, and the type of wheat. Wheat varieties are called "soft" or "weak" if gluten content is low, and are called "hard" or "strong" if they have high gluten content.

Different Types of Wheat:
* Soft red winter wheat: This type of wheat has baking properties which make it suitable as an ingredient in baked goods like cakes, pastries and cookies.
* Hard red winter wheat: This type of wheat is grown in low temperatures and snow-covered regions. It has high protein content and is used for products like general purpose flour, flatbreads and cereals. Itâ??s also the most important type of wheat produced in the United States.
* Hard red spring wheat: This type of wheat is produced in hot, dry climates. Itâ??s gluten characteristics make it a good choice for use in food products like bagels, croissants and pizza crusts.
* Soft white wheat: Sweeter and softer than other types of wheat. Itâ??s low in protein and gluten which makes it great for more exquisite pastries and cakes, as well as Asian noodles
* Hard white wheat: This type of wheat has slightly less protein and is less bitter than hard red wheat. Itâ??s used in softer loaves such as pan loaves.
* Durum wheat: This type of wheat has more protein than any other type and is used to make pasta.
Uses of Wheat:
1. Animal feed: A portion of wheat production is allocated for animal feed, particularly for poultry and livestock. Wheat middling's, a byproduct of flour milling, are commonly used in animal feed due to their high protein content.
2. Biofuel: Wheat can be used to produce ethanol, a biofuel that can replace or supplement gasoline. In 2020, around 5% of global wheat production was dedicated to ethanol production.
3. Bioplastics: Wheat straw and chaff can be used as a raw material to create biodegradable plastics. These bioplastics offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics.
4. Paper production: Wheat straw can be used in paper production as an alternative to wood pulp. This helps reduce deforestation and contributes to more sustainable paper production.
5. Construction materials: Wheat straw can be processed into building materials like straw bale and particleboard. These materials offer insulation, soundproofing, and environmental benefits compared to conventional construction materials.
6. Industrial absorbents: Wheat straw and chaff can be used as absorbent materials for oil spills and other industrial applications. They provide a natural and cost-effective alternative to synthetic absorbents.
