A grain is composed of three distinct parts. These are the bran, endosperm, and germ. The bran is the outer layer. It is composed of fiber and covers the endosperm. The endosperm is the largest part of the grain. It is composed of proteins and carbohydrates which make up starches. The last and smallest is the germ. This part of the kernel is the only on that contains any fat and is also rich in thiamin.
