How do we know that believers are the wheat in the parable?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are the wheat because they are described as the good seed produced by the Son of Man, signifying their divine origin.

In the parable, the good seed represents the children of the kingdom, indicating that they have been sown by Christ himself, who is the sower. As reiterated in Matthew 13:37, Jesus identifies himself as the sower of the good seed, making the wheat His chosen people, a product of the incorruptible seed, which is the Word of God (1 Peter 1:23). Moreover, the comparison of believers to wheat highlights their value and the idea that they are essential for sustenance in God's plan. Believers, having been brought forth from spiritual death and made alive in Christ, are indeed the fruitful members of His kingdom.
