International Grain Council (IGC) announced its latest report for global grain market on 27 April. According to this report, total grain production amount in the world is increasing. World total grain production which is realized 2.008 million tons in 2015/16 season, is forecasted to rise 2.111 million tons. In 2017/18 project, IGC estimates that world total grain production decrease 2.054 million tons.

Corn

Corn is one of the world’s most important crops because food producers and manufacturers use it so widely in their foods. You’ll find corn — in one form or another — in everything from tortillas to breakfast cereals to dumplings and casseroles.

Wheat

Wheat is a low-fat food and contains a wide variety of micronutrients, including: Potassium, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, Iron, Copper, Calcium

Rice

Rice takes the prize for the grain that is eaten the most. This is thanks, in large part, to the fact that three of the most populated regions in the world — Indonesia, China, and India — rely on rice as their staple food.

Oats

With evidence of their use stretching back as far as 10,500 years ago, oats are one of the oldest cultivated grains on the planet.

Flax

Flaxseed has been cultivated as a food crop since the third millennium B.C.E. (some 5,000 years ago). Amongst this list of great grains, flax holds its own thanks to three of its healthy components: Lignans, Omega-3 fatty acids, Fiber.

Quinoa

Though not technically a true grain, quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is considered a pseudo-cereal because it’s nutritionally similar to the other grains on this list and is often used in much the same way.

Barley

Barley was probably domesticated around the same time as wheat so many thousands of years ago.

Rye

Rye grows well in colder, harsher climates such as Northern Europe and Russia. For this reason, it was (and still is) the main bread-making grain in that part of the world.

Chia

Though chia seeds have been an important food for the Aztec and Mayan cultures of Central America for hundreds — if not thousands — of years, the grain has only recently been recognized for its nutritional benefits.

Grains and Pulses which can be found and consumed nearly everywhere on earth are used in making main foods like bread and flour that are highly important for human nutrition. Grain products which are wheat, corn, rice, barley, oats, rye and sorghum in general are also the most consumed products at the same time. Most common pulses: beans, chickpeas, lentils and peas.
