Wheat has been cultivated for over 10,000 years and is believed to have originated in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East. It played a vital role in the development of ancient civilizations, including Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. As one of the first domesticated crops, wheat spread across continents and became a staple in Indian agriculture and Ayurvedic practices.
