Abstract
Bread wheat, also known as Triticum aestivum, is one of the commonly grown crops worldwide. It can be grown worldwide because it grows easily in different climates, and it has a high nutritional value, high palatability, and can be processed into many foods and drinks. However, despite these benefits, common wheat is recognized as an immune-mediated food allergen because it activates immunoglobulin E (IgE) and non-IgE immune responses.
