In Rust, Wheat Seed is a seed and plant in the Food category (item ID #-1790885730, console shortname seed.wheat).

Inventory storage stacks up to 50 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
Wheat seeds, found when eating wheat or harvesting wild crops. Plant in the ground or a planter to grow more. Seeds grown in good conditions will have higher yields and grow faster.
In Rust, Wheat Seed has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades read from the Rust game files. Monument recyclers do not break this item down into raw components, while it serves its dedicated role inside the Food catalog. Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Wheat Seed against related food in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.
