Wheat.

More information:

Wheat flour comes from the wheat plant, a grass that originated in the Near East and is now grown throughout the world.

Wheat flour can be milled from different types of wheat for specific purposes; hard or durum wheat for bread baking; soft wheat for cakes; a blend of different wheat for Pizza crusts. Whole wheat flour and a variation called Graham flour include the germ and bran of the grain, which contain most of the oil, protein and vitamins. These are removed from white flour, which is then "enriched" with a few artificial vitamins. Most all-purpose flour is chemically bleached, but unbleached white flour is also available.
