https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_grain
A seed from a cereal or pseudocereal plant which has a germ (embryo), endosperm, and bran (pericarp, seed coat, and aleurone) part.
From https://wholegrainscouncil.org/definition-whole-grain: "Whole grains or foods made from them contain all the essential parts and naturally-occurring nutrients of the entire grain seed in their original proportions. If the grain has been processed (e.g., cracked, crushed, rolled, extruded, and/or cooked), the food product should deliver the same rich balance of nutrients that are found in the original grain seed. [...] This definition means that 100% of the original kernel – all of the bran, germ, and endosperm - must be present to qualify as a whole grain.
