Wheat kernels consist of three main parts: the outer bran layer rich in fiber, the starchy endosperm providing carbohydrates, and the nutrient-dense germ containing oils and vitamins. Typically oval-shaped and golden-brown, grains measure 5-9 mm long, with compositions varying by type like hard durum for pasta or soft for baking, offering about 70% carbs, 12% protein, and essential B vitamins. ​ Key Features High carbohydrate content: Primarily starch in the endosperm, fueling energy needs and forming the base for flours. ​ Rich in protein: 11-13% content, including gluten-forming proteins vital for bread elasticity and texture. ​ Fiber-packed bran: Outer layers provide insoluble fiber, minerals like phosphorus, and antioxidants for digestive health. ​ Nutrient-dense germ: Contains vitamin E, B vitamins, fats, and minerals supporting immunity and reproduction. ​ Versatile varieties: Hard wheat for durum pasta, soft for pastries, adaptable to diverse climates and soils. ​
