Wheat
Wheat — the golden crop of Punjab, India's breadbasket.
ਖੇਤਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਣਕ ਪੱਕ ਗਈ ਹੈ।
The wheat has ripened in the fields.
'ਕਣਕ' (kanak) is derived from the Sanskrit word 'गेंहू' (geṃhū), meaning wheat, a vital crop in Punjab since ancient times.
'ਕਣਕ' is primarily used in informal contexts and is a common topic during harvest time. It appears in both spoken and written forms.
