Grains are small, hard seeds, harvested for human or animal consumption. The so-called cereal grains are historically diet staples due to their long shelf life. They must generally be boiled or ground to become edible. Common grains include wheat, rice, oats, millet, barley, rye, spelt, amaranth and quinoa.
