Wheat, used for white bread, pastries, pasta, and pizza, has been the principal cereal crop since the 18th century. Wheat was introduced by the first English colonists and quickly became the main cash crop of farmers who sold it to urban populations and exporters.
Three important species of wheat are Triticum aestivum (common wheat), Triticum durum, and T. compactum; T. aestivum is used to make bread, T. durum is used to make pasta, and T. compactum is used to make softer cakes, crackers, cookies, and pastries.
