What kind of plant is the earliest cultivated millet people usually eat? What is the earliest cultivated millet in history?

1. The millet that people usually eat was first cultivated from Setaria viridis. In biology, millet belongs to angiosperm, monocotyledonous plant, Gramineae, Setaria, millet species, as we saw in the park. People in ancient times originally planted millet as feed. Its stems and leaves are hard and can be used as feed for cattle. Later, when its edible value was discovered, it was cultivated into the present millet.

2. It was a very long process for the ancients to cultivate millet. Through continuous manual screening, the millet with "big ears and full grains" was finally screened out. Because millet is the staple food in ancient times, there are many records about millet, which are recorded in Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed in Yin Ruins. It is said that the earliest wine in China was also brewed with millet.

3. It is a simple wish of people in the agricultural age to have a bumper harvest. The word "five grains" originally refers to grains with shells, and the pronunciation of the word "five grains" is also transformed from "shells". The "five grains" in people's mouths refer to five kinds of grains such as rice, millet, millet, wheat and rice, or five kinds of grains such as hemp, millet, wheat and rice. The "millet" contained in these two statements is the millet that people usually eat, also called millet, which is a very old and important crop and is called the length of 100 grains.
