Wheat is the most important crop in the Kingdom of Alviraz. Every household, be it poor, or nobles will have bread on its table at least once a day. Commoners' food was usually hard and simple, so they could be stored for many days, often mixed with other grains, while riches ate the fluffy snowy white loaves.
Crops were grown on 70% of all fertile farmland. In comparison, vegetables and fruits took up only 7-8%, most of them belonging to aristocratic families or rich merchants. Wheat was also the most versatile, as it could be made into so many different things. Even if meat was missing, no one could survive without bread.
