Where Do All Those Baguettes Come From?

If you are in the Loire Valley then the chances are the wheat that was grown to make your baguette was grown somewhere close by. Centre Val de Loire Region is the largest cereal producer in Western Europe, and a hectare sown to wheat here will yield 6 tonnes of grain, which once milled into flour will make 25 000 baguettes.
