Best Answer

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.

Why should grain be the greatest number of servings?

On some pyramids grain is NOT the one you should have the most servings of. Green vegetables and fruit is. Also when they say grain, they refer to whole grains, you don't need any refined grains or rice in your diet. Grain though very nurtious (if it is whole grain), is very starchy. Which is good in moderation, but it's best you be eating more leafy greens and fruits. Though fruits are too, very starchy.
