En Europe on a tendance à parler du "blé de pays", ou du "blé indigène, réservant le terme "blé tendre" pour désigner la notion plus vaste du "blé commun". Les blés de pays sont renforcés par des "blés de force" d'importation pour en augmenter la teneur en gluten et donc améliorer la valeur boulangère. 3, record 3, French, - bl%C3%A9%20tendre

El trigo blando es un grupo al que pertenecen una serie de especies que se destinan fundamentalmente a la producción de pan en Europa y a la producción de pastas en Estados Unidos o Canadá. La especie más abundante dentro de este grupo es el trigo blando(Triticum aestivum) aunque al mismo grupo pertenecen otros tan conocidos como la escaña mayor(Triticum spelta). El trigo blando se cultiva preferentemente en regiones cálidas o templadas y el grano al romperse presenta una diferencia de textura entre el borde, más duro, y el centro más harinoso. Su contenido en almidón, grasas, hierro, fósforo y vitamina B es superior al trigo duro. 1, record 3, Spanish, - trigo%20blando
