Wheat (Triticum spp.) is a worldwide cultivated grass from the Fertile Crescent region of the Near East. In 2007 world production of wheat was 607 million tons, making it the third most-produced cereal after maize (784 million tons) and rice (651 million tons). Wheat grain is a staple food used to make flour for leavened, flat and steamed breads; biscuits, cookies, cakes, breakfast cereal, pasta, juice, noodles, and couscous; and for fermentation to make beer, alcohol, vodka, or biofuel. Wheat is planted to a limited extent as a forage crop for livestock, and the straw can be used as fodder for livestock or as a construction material for roofing thatch.

Although wheat supplies much of the world's dietary protein and food supply, as many as one in every 100 to 200 people has Celiac disease, a condition which results from an immune system response to a protein found in wheat: gluten (based on figures for the United States).

How do I make whole wheat bread in my machine if I have no whole wheat cycle?
Q. I recently purchased a toastmaster bread box 1150 used. It has no whole wheat cycle. Can I still make whole grain breads? I'd like to avoid using white flour as much as possible, but the manual that came with the machine doesn't have 100% whole wheat recipes I can adapt. Should I just give up and buy a newer machine?

A. There shouldn't be much difference between using the regular cycle for wheat bread. I also mix whole grains into the bread recipes I'm making - but I don't usually bake the bread in the bread machine unless I'm short on time and need bread. The best advice I can give you is to experiment and get to know the bread machine. You'll be able to tell if you have a good dough going and what cycle to best use. Humidity, or lack of, changes everything. You don't need to follow recipes in the book for that machine - you can buy a bread machine cookbook, or search online. I have my favorite recipes and I adapted them. I use a white bread recipe and swap out part of the white flour for unbleached all purpose white flour, bread flour and rye or… [cont.]

Q. I found that oatmeal and whole wheat bread (Wonder's brand is good but with salt) are all with salt in Canada's supermarkets. Where can I find oatmeal and whole wheat bread without salt in Canada?
