Wheat
A common grain that is significantly more useful processed.
Notes
Wheat is a raw grain harvested from wild plants or grown as a crop, forming the basis of many early food and research recipes. With zero fat and vitamins, eating it alone provides poor nutritional balance and a weak XP multiplier — its real value comes from processing it into flour, boiled grains, or other crafted foods. A practical tip: prioritize milling it into Processed Flour for balanced cooking ingredients, and use it to craft basic Agriculture and Gathering Research Papers to advance the tech tree.
