Wheat

The game says it plainly: you can eat a bundle, but it is better off in a cooking recipe. The awkward part is that no recipe on this site lists wheat. What gets cooked at the Cooking Workbench, pies included, is missing from our data, so we cannot tell you which dish wants it or how much.

So take the hint without betting a farm on it. Say your first planter of wheat comes in and the box fills with bundles. Put a stack aside next to the Cooking Workbench and check its menu in game; if a recipe there asks for wheat, that stack is ready. Eat a few of the rest. The wheat seed text says seeds turn up when you eat wheat, so a snack doubles as the next round's planting.

Whatever still clogs the box at the end of the week goes to the composter with the other spare crops. And if wheat turns out to matter for your cooking, keep clones of the plant that grew best.
