26 Wheaty Facts

The week started out with a fun and fact filled look at wheat with our latest A-Z.

We set out 26 interesting wheat based facts for people to get stuck into - from the fact that wheat dates back to around 9000 BC and that the genetic sequence of wheat is actually 4 times longer that the human one.

It's a great look at a product that's found in numerous products, eaten all over the world everyday and one that most people don't actually know so much about.

Forget meaty facts, here's some wheaty ones.

This week we decided to delve a little deeper into the world of food hashtags at FDL and bring you a mini guide for how, why and when to use them in your tweets and pictures.
