Today we featured wheat on our Who Knew Wednesday? foodie chat…so here are some of our fun facts gathered about it from the National Association of Wheat Growers:
– Wheat has been a principal cereal crop since the 1700’s as it is used for bread, pastries, pasta and pizza crusts
– About 75% of all American grain products are made from wheat flour
– About 50% of wheat grown in the U.S. is used here
– Kansas alone produces enough wheat each year to bake 36 billion loaves of bread
– An acre of wheat can feed about 9,000 people in one day
– Never refrigerate bagels or any bread product. Bread products go stale up to 6 times faster in the refrigerator. Leave these products at room temperature or freeze them.
– The first bagel rolled into the world in 1683 when a baker from Vienna, Austria was thankful to the King of Poland for saving Austria from Turkish invaders. The baker reshaped the local bread so that it resembled the King’s stirrup!
– One bushel of wheat weighs approximately 60 pounds and makes 42 pounds of white flour or 60 pounds of whole wheat flour
– A bushel of wheat makes about 42 pounds of pasta or 210 servings of spaghetti.
– Wheat is also prominent in flour tortillas and crackers
Wheat allergies are rare, but can still impact up to 6% of the population who are gluten-sensitive. So you can find plenty of tasty alternatives if you need to avoid wheat.

Proverbs 27:6 says: Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. (NIV) You can trust a friend who corrects you, but kisses from an enemy are nothing but lies (CEV)
God offers His people advice on their friendships, which are an important part of spiritual life. Our friendships, and how we treat our friends, can tell a lot about our faith. We need to choose our friends wisely and treat them well. Our prayer is: Lord, build strong friendships in my life and help me to be a good friend in turn.
