"Soft wheat" without grinding developed in Australia

Introduction: Australian scientists have announced that they have developed a bioengineering wheat, the first wheat in the world that does not need to be ground; this product can be used as a quick food or a crisp pasta similar to all kinds of crispy rice Bill rasmel, the scientist who led the study, said the wheat has now passed field trials and is on the business negotiation table of George Weston foods, a large Australian food group The product was developed by scientists in collaboration with the wheat cooperative research centre and the University of Sydney and the government's agricultural sector Using advanced molecular genetics technology to accelerate the traditional breeding process, the M5 cooperative research center created this "new wheat" This method does not involve genetic engineering "You can use it to make instant food - just add boiling water," rasmel said The new "soft wheat" can be eaten after adding boiling water He said they had produced 100 tons of the wheat in field tests last season There will be enough new wheat for commercial production by the end of next year The product is expected to enter the supermarket by 2004 The main product made from the new wheat will be the new breakfast cereal MM5
