Grain

Grains, or rather their products, appear throughout the How to Train Your Dragon Franchise.

Description
"Grain" is a broad term referring to the seeds of a number of plants. They are characterized as being small and hard, making them extremely storable and shippable. Typically "cereal" crops are thought of when thinking of grains, such as wheat, corn, millet, or barley, among others. These grain all belong in the Grass Family, Poaceae.

Function
The main function of grains in the Franchise and real life is as a food source. Grains can be eaten whole after cooking or ground into a fine powder, referred to as meal or flour. This in turn can be used to make a wide variety of dishes, including all types of breads.
