Grains are a significant source of carbohydrates. In nature, grains are composed of three main parts. When all three parts of the grain are present in their original proportion, it is considered a whole grain. Identify the three parts of grain on the kernel of wheat. Answer Bank germ bran endosperm Now, match each part to its corresponding description. Part Description contains the highest amount of starch and protein embryo of the seed; contains essential fatty acids, and a number of B vitamins and minerals contains the majority of dietary fiber, as well as B vitamins and minerals Answer Bank bran germ endosperm

IV. Fill-in-the-Blanks (17) Grains such as brown rice include the entire grain seed. The (18) husk, which contains much fiber, covers and protects the grain. Most of the kernel is made of the endosperm, which is rich in starch. At one end of the grain is the (19) germ, which is rich in vitamins and oil. (20) White flour is made only from the endosperm of the wheat kernel. By federal law, refined grains are (21) enriched with five nutrients that are lost in processing. Whole grains also contain (22) phytochemicals, substances in plants that have health-promoting properties.
