Exactly. Before the advent of agriculture and later mechanization,
wheat wasn't really a practical food source due to the difficulty of
collecting and refining it. Now, it's so easy to do that, which also
makes it extremely cheap. It's compounded by millennia of breeding to
increase the starch.

It's nothing like the same as the original grass species under the
genus Triticum. So, yes.
