My question is to anyone who knows much about the diet of the world: What cereal grains are used by what parts of the world?
Now, most of them are obvious; The Americas used maize, East and South Asia are dependent on rice, and Europe mostly used wheat and barley.
The areas I am not so sure of are Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. I know that both rice and wheat are staples of the middle east, but I'm wondering as to which one is more depended on, or if they're used in largely the same amounts.
Additionally, would like to know to what degrees certain cultures made use of millet, sorghum, rye and barley, and if any have depended mostly on these over wheat, rice and corn. Thanks!
