	I'm not sure I agree with fonio being listed separate from millet.

	sactoshc:	Dec 7th, 2008 at 16:06 GMT		4 points
	Never even heard of triticale.

	Esteban:	Dec 22nd, 2008 at 01:38 GMT		7 points
	A form of triticale is featured in the Star Trek episode The Trouble with Tribbles. Where is buckwheat?

	Mmmm, carbohydrate.

	What is the source for these figures? I don't doubt them, I'm just curious, and I am wondering where such "ancient grains" as spelt and quinoa might fit into the list.

	spelt=type of wheat quinoa and buckwheat= not real cereals Oddly these came to my head in almost exactly the order they're listed

	Quinoa is #12 on the list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereal but the list here at sporcle seems to (quite rightly) exclude pseudocereals such as buckwheat and quinoa

	Being a homebrewer makes this quiz rather easy.

	I have never heard of half of these, is that a good thing?

	Shouldn't typing oat work too or does it really need to be pluralized?

	oilseed rape

	LaStic:	May 10th, 2009 at 10:21 GMT		-1 points
	I'm surprised oilseed rape isn't there too

	Hungover:	May 14th, 2009 at 16:59 GMT		-1 points
	all this talk about oilseed rape is making me hungry

	Ahh, the advantage of having celiac disease -- I just had to list everything I can't eat! Though that doesn't explain how I managed to miss the gluten-free fonio...whoops. One question/criticism: If "millets" is already on the list, and fonio is a millet, shouldn't it be grouped with that?

	GeoStoyonovich:	Dec 10th, 2009 at 19:24 GMT		1 point
	Yeah - fonio is a type of millet, yes?

	ilovebandkids:	Dec 19th, 2009 at 17:30 GMT		1 point
	wheat. that's all i know. :)

	InannaKeltoi:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 00:23 GMT		2 points
	is triticale a kind of wheat? I nearly listed ergot not a grain, a fungus!

	jcrow09:	Jan 23rd, 2010 at 01:43 GMT		1 point
	Triticale is the cross of wheat and rye. I've never heard of folio.

	OMG thats why they make corn mazes, because corn = maize so its a "maize maze"

	Cris9229:	Apr 1st, 2010 at 18:03 GMT		2 points
	i've heard of sorghum...it's probably sad that i knew the rest of the grains :(

	cheesemonster:	May 27th, 2010 at 20:32 GMT		2 points
	thought i had to name the types of cereal...

	hibernia:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 13:58 GMT		0 points
	they missed the biggest cereal crop of all - sugar!

	freaky69az:	Sep 22nd, 2011 at 04:29 GMT		3 points
	I just can't WAIT until they come out with Fonio Chex!!!!!!!!!

	JDGrut:	Mar 29th, 2012 at 10:30 GMT		1 point
	Well, yopu learn something new every day. Looked the ones up that was expecting here afterwards, and yup, neither alfalfa nor canola is a cereal... and neither is rapeseed/oilseed rape, @massivetits and @LaStic...

	BossMonster:	Mar 29th, 2012 at 19:03 GMT		3 points
	I missed corn, but I tried pasta. I'm embarrassed at myself.

	Not sure if hibernia was being serious or not, but sugarcane is the worlds leading cash crop. Though perhaps because the stalk is harvested and not the seeds, it is not listed as a grain producing crop.

	9/10, how dubious. I got triticale but not fonio. Don't you hate getting one of the hard ones but not the other?
