You can eat wheat right out of the head (the top part of the wheat stalk). No processing required (other than threshing it - removing it from the husk).

wheat is overrated, I can't even eat it with out shitting myself and eventually developing cancer. Its because my genes are too evolved to eat it or something

Because they wiped their ass with a communal sponge.

The shared gut bacteria provided the micronutrients that are needed to develop the intelligence that can handle the complexity.

OP needs to get topped more to compensate.

If the only thing you can find to eat requires all the processing wheat does, you figure it out. Then people noticed how versatile flour is.

A sponge falls under the category of "good enough." But most leaves will do. The need for a clean ass is less pressing than gnawing insistent hunger.

Yeah I think about this a lot. How tf did they figure out wheat on such a massive scale for bread?
