How Many Grains Of Wheat On A Stalk, And How Much Whole Grain Flour Would It Make?
I realize that wheat flour is made from different parts of the wheat grain, but my question is about whole grain wheat flour. My interest is knowing how many grains and stalks an average person 2,000 years ago would have needed to make their daily bread, and how it would convert in today’s society. So, how many grains per stalk, and how much whole grain flour it would make. Thanks!

~*~Now days, with breeding, a stalk of wheat can have up to 200 grains.
Most wild wheat has between 10-18 grains per stalk.
It takes 150 grams or 5 oz of wheat berries to make one cup of flour.
