Interesting to see that wheat, Triticum, grows at this altitude and i suspect hence a shorter growing season.

I heard people all the time talking about buck wheat, the one with no gluten.
I'm not sure which one is in this field.

Buckwheat is not a wheat but a completely different crop, not even a grain.
Barley is quite common in the Himalayas being a staplefood, like tsampa, i have also encountered  a red millet variety.
It is hard to tell from the image what grain we are looking at.

The rendering of the wheat makes this repeat viewable many times.  Thanks for sharing.
