ʻO ka raiki ka palaoa e like me ka palaoa, ka bale, ke kulina, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. He mau hua ia o kekahi mau mea kanu. Mamua, he mauu momona. Mai ka wā Pōhaku, mālama mau ka poʻe i nā hua nui loa a hiki i ka pūnāwai aʻe a hoʻohana hou iā lākou no ka lūlū ʻana. ʻO kēia ke ʻano o nā cereals o kēia lā, me ka laiki.
Pono e ʻeli ʻia nā mea kanu laiki ʻōpiopio a kanu hou ʻia i kēlā me kēia manawa me ka ʻoi aku o ka mamao. A laila, lilo ka laiki i ka hapalua mika a i ʻole hoʻokahi me ka hapa mika ke kiʻekiʻe. Aia ma luna ka panicle, ka inflorescence. Ma hope o ka fertilization e ka makani, ulu ka hua. Hiki i nā mea kanu raiki ke hoʻomomona iā ia iho.
Ua ʻike ʻo Archeology ua mahi ʻia ka raiki ma kahi o 10,000 mau makahiki aku nei: ma Kina. Hele mai paha ka mea kanu i ke komohana ma o Peresia, Iran kahiko. Ua ʻike ka poʻe Roma kahiko i ka lāʻau lapaʻau. Ma hope mai, lawe mai nā kānaka i ka laiki i ʻAmelika a me Australia.
No ka hapalua o nā kānaka a pau, ʻo ka laiki ka meaʻai nui loa. ʻO ia ke kumu i kapa ʻia ai ka meaʻai kumu. ʻO ka poʻe nona kēia pili e noho nui nei ma Asia. Ua ulu nui ka raiki ma Aferika. Ma ke Komohana, ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, ʻai nui nā kānaka i nā meaʻai i hana ʻia mai ka palaoa. ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ulu ʻana o ka kulina ma mua o ka laiki, hānai nui ʻia ia i nā holoholona.
