	Publication #: B-1403 Date Published: 05/01/2025 Publication Author(s): Hannah Rodgers Hana Fancher Tom Foulke Tessa Peters

Description:
A newly developed perennial grain crop could provide some of these benefits to vulnerable croplands in the U.S. Kernza® is the trademark name for the grain harvested from varieties of intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium), originally developed by The Land Institute. To create these varieties, plant breeders crossed thousands of intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) plants over many generations and selected those with desirable traits like bigger seeds. The resulting crop can be harvested for forage or for grain, which can be used in products like bread, cereal, and beer.
