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!

How many grains of wheat on a stalk, and how much whole grain flour would it make?
~*~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.
Reply:How much do those 10-18 grains weigh? 5oz of wheat berries would be how many grains of wheat? Report It

Reply:There is no set answer to your question.





How many grains per stalk depends on the weather - the better weather at the right time, the more grains per stalk, and the fatter the grains.





If you make whole grain flour, you use the whole grain - so 1 ounce of grains equals almost one ounce of flour.
