This template seems to be alternating between Grains and Cereals - so maybe needs discussion before it gets changed again.
The list of plants in this template has always included the pseudocereals Amaranth, Buckwheat, Kañiwa, and Quinoa. These have "seeds" that are compact and rich in starch, with agronomic, storage and culinary properties close to those of cereal grains (hence the term pseudocereal). There seems to be agreement that this template is most useful if it includes cereals and pseudocereals.
However, there seems to be disagreement as to whether Grains or Cereals is the right term. For me (an agricultural botanist), a cereal is a grain in the grass family, Poaceae. However, I'll have to admit that my Concise Oxford Dictionary confuses the issue, being very definite that grains are in the grass family and cereals in or not, as the case might be.
However, within agronomy the use of the terms cereal and pseudocereal shows that specialists in this field consider cereals to be grasses.
My own feeling is that Cereals is an ambiguous term, evidently used in different ways by the public and by specialists, and that it would be better to use Grains. In general I'd like to see Wikipedia follow expert, correct use of terms.Mark Nesbitt 07:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

It's missing a picture for Wattleseed. The pictures aren't the same size. A few of the photos are of drawings, while the rest are just photographs. One picture has people in it, while the rest do not. Some are in the field, while others in bowls or spoons. Some use scientific names, while others use common names. Some groups (Lamiaceae and Acacia) have only one member. Wheat is the only group name with a picture. Some (Amaranth and Farro) are on a purple background, while the rest are not. And since this is making the distinction between cereals and pseudocereals so important, maybe rename the category cereals and pseudocereals, or something similar? Some of the capitalization (bread wheat, pasta wheat, einkorn) does not match. This is a nice template, so I'm hoping someone with more skills in technical stuff might be able to help. :) JonathanHopeThisIsUnique (talk) 00:33, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Would it be possible to break out the main 4 millets in this box? Namely pearl millet, foxtail millet, proso millet, and finger millet (in order of worldwide production levels). Pearl and finger are tropical millets (quite different from each other), while foxtail and proso tend to be cultivated in more temperate regions. The generic term millet is useful in some ways, but these are quite different grains. There are of course a number of other less widely cultivated and consumed millets, so the exisiting link to Millet could be ] to cover for those.--A12n (talk) 19:00, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Chenopodiaceae has been incorporated into the Amaranthaceae family as the Chenopodioideae subfamily. --kupirijo (talk) 06:09, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
