Grains are generally classified as the seeds of cereal plants. They are characterised by their smallness, hardness and low water content. Most of them belong to the family of grasses, known scientifically as the family of gramineas.
The ancient Romans called Demeter, the Greek goddes of the grains and harvests, Ceres. The word cereal is derived from her name. Cereals have been the staple human diet from prehistoric times because of their wide cultivation, good keeping qualities, blend flavour and great variety, Each of the cereals has characteristic properties and uses.
The cultivation of grains for human consumption was probably developed around 10,000 B.C. It signified the commencement of the era of stable civilisation from the primitive unsettled nomadic life.
