Cereals are plants that produce grains. They are our most important source of food. The most common cereal is wheat. It is used to make bread or pasta and is the staple food of more than a third of the world's people. Rye, oats, and barley are grown in northern Europe, mainly as animal food. Corn (maize) is a major crop in America and Africa, and rice is the staple grain of Asia. Sorghum and millet are also grown in Asia and Africa.
