Picture of emmer wheat (modern reference example, from Turkey); cereal ear (left) spikelet (top right) and grains (bottom right). After threshing, cereal ears are broken into spikelets. The spikelets then have to be pounded to release the grains before they can be ground to make flour. Emmer wheat was an important food cereal in pharaonic times, including at New Kingdom Amara West in Sudan.
