more about kernels
Endosperm
Flour is made from the endosperm which makes up about 83 percent
of the wheat kernel and is composed of starch and protein.
Bran
Bran is removed
from the kernel and used in animal and poultry feed or combined with the
endosperm to produce whole wheat flour.
Germ
The germ or embryo is the sprouting portion of the seed. It is separated
from the endosperm and sold as a nutritional component for human and animal
use.
