The mill blends hard and soft wheats to get the right flour.

Note
A plural that counts kinds rather than quantities. It treats the cereal grains of the genus Triticum as separate types that can be compared side by side. In everyday use the grain stays singular (a field of wheat, a sack of wheat). The plural belongs to people sorting varieties for flour or breeding. The color meaning never takes it, because a light brown is simply wheat.
