GRASS
The state grass of Utah and Nevada is Indian Ricegrass. It was eaten by Native Americans and early pioneers.
The grass family includes some of the most important staple food plants, including wheat, corn, barley, rice, oats and sorghum. These plants were some of the earliest cultivated plants. Grasses are also the main source of food for domestic animals, as well as wild herbivores. Sugar cane and bamboo are also members of the grass family.
