This poll is definitely going to cause some heated arguments, so please be kind!

Optionally, you can comment which one you picked, and why?
Also not all crops are included, such as nether wart

I like wheat because it's very easy, and it's by far the most useful considering that you can make hay bales, bread, or cake with it and you can feed it to your sheep or cows (or you can feed the seeds to chickens, but that works with anything)

wheat
probably the easiest crop (or seeds at least) to find (for people who don't like looking for villages)

I can see why sugar cane would be an argument, but bookshelves and enchanting usually are a later game thing and you'd probably have a wheat farm far before sugar cane.

That's a good argument for wheat being the first crop one grows (and such is {usually} true when I start a world).

I think most of the answers indicate the poster is considering what one considers 'superior' when any crop (or at least any of the four listed) is available…

wheat is pretty useful, but i always play as wheat-free as i can, so my vote goes to potatoes because potatoes are so easy to get (and yummy!) :D

Its not even a contest lol, sure sugar cane is useful
but wheat easily wins since you can mass store it as haybales,
and it makes bread without needing any cooking or complicated recipies.

Sure its not the best food for saturation or hunger.
But bread itself is still a great, easy to stack up on food item,
and does offer at least a decent bit of filling

Agreed, I think wheat is the most superior crop because it can be converted into haybales, and used as breeding for cows

Sugar cane. With it you can make paper, and with paper you can make books, and with books you can make an enchanting room, and with an enchanting room you can enchant your tools.

wheat, not by itself, but because you breed cows with it

The potato, you can eat raw or cooked (better cooked), trade with villagers for emeralds. When farming them manually they are effected by fortune.

Potato, what else... who are you? A fellow potato too? (just messing you guys!!).

Seriously: potatoe. You can eat, you can plant and you can impress any player you meet :P

It impressed a German king of the ages, it'll impress you, especially after it's cooked!

IRL the potato was instrumental in creating the Spanish colonial empire, sustained Prussia during the Seven Years' War, enabled the rent farming system in Ireland and (when it failed – providing an unrecognized lesson in the dangers of monociulture) changed the culture of the US, Canada, Australia, & New Zealand…

…but the MC fersion is a far more humble tuber.

For what purpose?

As noted Kitty Commander, cane is minimally useful as a food but vital for trading…

Wheat is necessary for breeding cows & sheep & llamas (yeah, the last is a bit of a stretch…because how many llamas does one breed….)

As either a food source, or for animal breeding potatoes and carrots are largely interchangeable, but carrots also breed rabbits and can be gilded as a (comparatively) cheap super-food. [​Also, production of either is easily automated with 'villager-tech' farms…]

Of the four, beetroot is likely the least useful: it has no unique breeding use, is minimally useful as a food, and anyone with an iron farm is unlikely to be in need of a red dye source.

Even with most of them being reliable food sources, sugar cane is way too important of a crop to not get. Mainly because of paper and enchantments, it's the only reliable way to farm them and enchantments are super important. I find it ironic the name is quite literally "sugar" cane yet that is one of the least important aspects of Sugar cane, as sugar isn't all that useful.
