Cereals in nutrition provide the energy necessary for daily functions and usual metabolic processes. Apart from being used as basic raw material in beer and whisky production, barley is more often used in baking industry through fortifying wheat products or through complete replacement of wheat flour with barley flour. Triticum monococcum L. is a wild wheat whose interest for cultivation rises due to dietetic nutritive aspects of this particular type of wheat, mainly because of the important role in preventing cancer, diabetes and chronic diseases. The aim of this abstract is to assess the knowledge and attitudes of consumers in the Republic of Macedonia and the Republic of Bulgaria regarding the consumption of cereals in daily nutrition and products from different cereals.
