4. What Are Grains? • All plants in the grass family • Grains produce many small, separate dry fruits called kernels, which can be processed into several forms for different uses. • The grain kernel has three parts. • The bran is the edible, outer layer of the kernel • The endosperm, the largest part of the kernel is made of proteins and starches. • The germ is the seed of the plant.

5. Whole Grains are Rich in Nutrients • The Bran • Fiber, B vitamins, and minerals • The Endosperm • Complex carbs and protein • The Germ • Protein, unsaturated fats, B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, zinc, other minerals, and phytochemicals

6. Processed Grains • White flour and many breakfast cereals are made by removing the bran and germ. • Enrichment = putting back some of the nutrients lost in processing • Fortified = adding new nutrients or extra amounts of original nutrients
