| The grain with the embryo dissected away from the endosperm. The structure between the endosperm and the embryo is the scutellum; it transfers nutrients from the endosperm to the embryo during germination. When millers separate the embryo from the endosperm they call it the wheat 'germ'. The embryo contains fats and proteins which may limit the keeping quality of the flour. | |
