Wheat in Korea - Introduction and History |
| Archaeological evidence indicates that wheat, along
with barley, millet, rice, and other crops were first
cultivated in China, then in Korea, and finally in Japan.
Some of these crops, including rice and millet, were
first domesticated in China. Others, such as wheat, were
brought to China from further west. During the Neolithic
period, many of these crops gradually made their way
to the Korean peninsula: first dryland crops such as
wheat and later, wet-field rice. Bronze Age archaeological
sites in Korea reveal that wheat was already an established
crop by about 1000 BC. (Crawford and Lee).
