I found my information by going to people i know and asking them. I also got my information from on the web. I used Wikipepedia for some information. Wikipedia.com. Where Does Bread come from? This is for my grilled cheese sandwich. This information can be found at (http://www.awhc.org/)
A farmer plants wheat in the fall to be harvested the next summer. To prepare the
ground, the farmer must plow, drill (which plants the seeds) and then fertilize the
seeds. The seeds begin to grow and during the fall the wheat turns golden. Its now harvest time.A combine is a machine that cuts the wheat.The heads of wheat are pulled up into the machine where the kernels are separatedfrom the chaff. The stems and head parts of the plant are thrown out the back andthe grain is stored in the machine. At the mill, the endosperm must be separated from the rest of the kernel. This isthe flour. The wheat must be cleaned and then tempered, which means water is added toraise the kernel moisture. The wheat is ground and sifted many times to get theflour. The flour is sent in one direction, while the other material from the wheat is sent in another direction. At this point, the flour goes in many different directions. The flour may end up onthe grocery shelf for you to buy, it may go to bakeries where bread and other items are made, or any other places where flour is needed for food items. The
food may be baked and made differently, but it all comes from wheat flour!
Americans consume 22 billion pounds of bread a year -- that's 77.6 pounds for
each one of us. Next is cheese! American cheese obviously comes from America. It can come from many differnt cheese processing companies. This week i learend how bread was processed and made. Pretty cool.
