(middle) sorghum, maize, oats (bottom) millet, wheat, rye, triticale. A cereal is a grass cultivated for its edible grain. Cereals are the world's largest crops, and are therefore staple foods. They include rice, wheat, rye, oats, barley, millet, and maize. Edible grains from other plant families, such as buckwheat and quinoa, are pseudocereals.

They provide, through direct human consumption, just over one-half (51%) of all dietary energy; rice provides 20%, [6] wheat supplies 20%, maize (corn) 5.5%, and other grains 6%.
