About Cereal grain

Cereal grain refers to edible grain from a cereal crop, but the name does not identify which cereal. It may be encountered whole, hulled, milled, or otherwise processed, and used as a food ingredient or eaten as a grain food. No particular crop, grain part, or preparation state is established by this catalogue record.

Appearance, flavour, texture, and cooking behaviour vary substantially among cereal grains and between whole and processed forms. The category may include distinct grains rather than one interchangeable product. The record supports describing a variable cereal-grain class, not selecting an arbitrary member or assuming a particular recipe.
