The 2.0 update released for Animal Crossing: New Horizons back in November 2021 brought a ton of updates into the game, including the cooking update. Players can now cook many different kinds of meals in the game, and naturally, they require several kinds of ingredients for the same.

Many of the recipes New Horizons has to offer its players require wheat to be made properly, and subsequently, there is a high demand for wheat among players of the title. Here's how players can get wheat in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Players can acquire Wheat Starts from Leif. Leif usually visits the players' islands and sets up shop outside the Resident Services building, so players can obtain Wheat Starts from him there. Alternatively, they can even visit him at his stall at Harv's Island Plaza and buy Wheat Starts from him for a price of 280 Bells each.

Another method to obtain Wheat Starts in Animal Crossing is to take mystery island tours with Kapp'n. However, they cost the player 1000 Nook Miles for every trip, and the success rate for the same is not very high, so this is not an option players usually want to consider.

Once players have obtained the Wheat Starts, they must plant the same on their island to get their hands on wheat. Players must then select a spot on their island that will be suitable for them to grow the wheat, and ideally, they must select a grassy region to do so.

Thereafter, they must open their inventory,
