Wheat, like water, sand, or aluminum, is an uncountable noun as a word for a substance. Substances are expressed as units, measures, or amounts. Examples:

A stalk of wheat

A molecule of water

A grain of sand

A ton of aluminum

Some uncountable nouns for substances have a plural form used exclusively for 'types of' or 'kinds of', such as wheat or sand. Examples:

The wheats with the highest protein count are hard spring and red wheat.

The distributor can tell you which of these sands is suitable for your purpose.

Using a plural form is not mandatory, many use the singular form for this purpose.
