Detailed explanation-1: -The endosperm is the germ’s food supply, which provides essential energy to the young plant so it can send roots down for water and nutrients, and send sprouts up for sunlight’s photosynthesizing power. The endosperm is by far the largest portion of the kernel.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endosperm is the interior layer that holds carbohydrates, protein, and small amounts of some B vitamins and minerals. These components have various effects on our bodies: Bran and fiber slow the breakdown of starch into glucose-thus maintaining a steady blood sugar rather than causing sharp spikes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inside the bran is the endosperm, which makes up most of the kernel and mainly contains starch. Also inside the bran is the germ, which is the nutrient powerhouse of the grain. It contains vitamin E, healthy fats, antioxidants, minerals and B vitamins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sometimes called the wheat berry, the kernel is the seed from which the wheat plant grows. Each tiny seed contains three distinct parts that are separated during the milling process to produce flour.
