Surprisingly, the plant, which initially successfully grew independently and covered the fields of southeastern Turkey and modern Armenia, has by now forgotten how to do without the help of people.
Wild wheat possessed not only small grains. Its “fruits” showered immediately after ripening and it was impossible to collect them from the ground. People who first met her began to use still green ears for food, evaluating the nutritional value of grain. Subsequently, the person selected those ears in which the grain did not fall off for a long time.
