The Feekes scale is a system to identify the growth and development of cereal crops introduced by the Dutch agronomists Willem Feekes (1907-1979) in 1941. [1] [2] This scale is more widely used in the United States [3] than other similar and more descriptive [4] [5] scales such as the Zadoks scale or the BBCH scale.

A whole grain is a grain of any cereal and pseudocereal that contains the endosperm, germ, and bran, in contrast to refined grains, which retain only the endosperm. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] As part of a general healthy diet , consumption of whole grains is associated with lower risk of several diseases.
The tower "wheat" grain was defined as exactly + 45 ⁄ 64 (≈ + 3 ⁄ 4) of the troy "barley" grain. [ 1 ] : 74 Since the implementation of the international yard and pound agreement of 1 July 1959, the grain or troy grain (symbol: gr ) measure has been defined in terms of units of mass in the International System of Units as precisely 64.798 ...
This template presents a comparison table for major staple foods. It is intended to be transcluded into other pages. If it is transcluded into an article for one of the staple foods listed in the table e.g., the Wheat article, then the column for that food will be automatically highlighted.
In agriculture, grain quality depends on the use of the grain.In ethanol production, the chemical composition of grain such as starch content is important, in food and feed manufacturing, properties such as protein, oil and sugar are significant, in the milling industry, soundness is the most important factor to consider when it comes to the quality of grain.
The Whole Grain Stamp was created by the Whole Grains Council and a panel of scientific and culinary advisors in January 2005 as a visual marker to signal products that contain dietarily-significant amounts of whole grains. The Stamp features a stylized sheaf of grain on a golden-yellow background with a black border.
