Wheat

The Ancient Greeks used the simple ingredients of flour, wheat, honey and cheese formed into a cake and baked.

Tagenites were made with wheat flour, olive oil, honey and curdled milk.

Often referred to as the Chinese ravioli, wontons are a variety of thin-skinned dumplings with meat, seafood or vegetable filling enclosed in tender wheat dough wrappers.

As the Han era concluded, the northern Chinese farmers who had long grown wheat discovered they could ground this grain into flour and knead it with water.

In the 1860s, when France laid their first steps in Vietnam to start their invasion, the bread made from wheat flour also arrived in Vietnam.

At that time, a baguette was an expensive dish, which was only served to the upper class or French, because wheat could not be planted in Vietnam due to the tropical weather and imported wheat flour was very expensive.

Its name literally means bread wheat.

In Vietnam, 'Bánh mì' when translated literally refers only to 'bread', or 'wheat cake'.

The dictionary defines banh mi as "a Vietnamese snack consisting of a baguette (traditionally baked with both rice and wheat flour) filled with a variety of ingredients, typically including meat, pickled vegetables, and chilli.".
