REFINED GRAINS
Let’s talk about the various components of
a grain seed.
The bran is the grain’s outer layer, its suit
of armor. Its job is to protect the seed against
outside threats, like bacteria and insects. The
part of the seed that actually grows into
another plant is the germ—that’s where the
plant’s reproductive information is stored.
Finally, there is the endosperm—mostly
starch and some protein—which provides fuel
for the seed’s growth.
