From AACC ( American Association of Cereal Chemists ) definition : " Whole grains shall consist of the intact, ground, cracked or flaked caryopsis, whose principal anatomical components-the starchy endosperm, germ and bran-are present in the same relative proportions as they exist in the intact caryopsis ."
