	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.

	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

	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	0 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
