If corn, rice and maize are the three major cereals, there are many other grains used in cooking or beverages.
autres céréales
Durum wheat, unlike wheat or wheat, which is used to make bread is used for couscous or for making pasta. Barley is used in brewing. Rye and Spelt are also used in baking, oats for porridge. Millet, sorghum, buckwheat, and canary seed are also cereals.

It belongs to the family quinoa, seed grown in some Latin American countries (Peru, Colombia, Bolivia), although it is not exactly a grass but a grain (of the same family as beets or spinach) rich in protein and iron.
