Wheat can be divided into two main classes :
(1) Common wheat, soft, semi‑hard or hard, usually having a floury fracture; (2) Durum wheat (see Subheading Note 1 to this Chapter). Durum wheat is generally of a colour ranging from amber yellow to brown; it usually shows a translucent, hornlike, vitreous fracture. Spelt, a type of wheat with a small brown grain which retains its husk even after threshing, is also classified in this heading. Meslin is a mixture of wheat and rye, generally in proportions of two to one. Subheading Explanatory Note.
