Shorttitle: Grains are generally classified as the seeds of cereal
plants. They are characterized by their smallness, hardness and low
water content. Most of them belong to the family of grasses, known
scientifically as the family of gramineas. The ancient Romans
called Demeter, the Greek goddess of the, grains and harvests,
Ceres. The word cereal is derived from her name. Cereals have been
the staple human diet from prehistoric times because of their wide
cultivation, good keeping qualities, blend flavor and great
variety, Each of the cereals has characteristic properties and
uses. The cultivation of grains for human consumption was probably
developed around 10,000 B.C. The refining of grains to retain only
the endosperm has a commercial basis as the refined material
appears cleaner, tastes better and is easier in making breads,
pastries and other delicacies. But the refined products made after
the removal of germ and bran, lack sufficient bulk and leads to
numerous degenerative diseases and even cancer.
