To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Where winters are too warm for vernalization or exceed the hardiness of the crop (which varies by species and variety), farmers grow spring varieties. Cereal flour consists either of the endosperm, germ, and bran together (whole-grain flour) or of the endosperm alone (refined flour). While each individual species has its own peculiarities, the cultivation of all cereal crops is similar. In developed countries, cereal consumption is moderate and varied but still substantial, primarily in the form of refined and processed grains.Genomics and genetics Exotic varieties are collected to add genetic diversity when selectively breeding new domestic strains. Introduced into Africa by the Portuguese in the 16th century, maize has become Africa's most important staple food crop. It is afflicted by many pests and diseases; two major insect pests, European corn borer and corn rootworms, have each caused annual losses of a billion dollars.

They did this to liberate the corn hulls, but coincidentally it also liberated the B-vitamin niacin, the lack of which caused pellagra. As a food, maize is used to make a wide variety of dishes including Mexican tortillas and tamales, Italian polenta, and American hominy grits.Cereal crops have varying nutrient requirements, but generally, they need nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. A maize stalk with two ripe ears is depicted on the reverse of the Croatian 1 lipa coin, minted since 1993. The British later referred to maize as Turkey wheat, Turkey corn, or Indian corn; Fussell comments that "they meant not a place but a condition, a savage rather than a civilized grain". A whole female inflorescence develops into an ear or corncob, enveloped by multiple leafy layers or husks.
