That got awkward fast. Two thirds of all human calories come from endosperm. In one form or another cereal grains, the one-seeded fruits of grasses, which include rice, wheat, maize, rye, oats, and barley, constitute the majority of human food. Cereal grains and their endosperm form the foundation of agriculture and human civilizations. Without endosperm humans would starve.
Flour is finely ground endosperm. Coconut is shredded endosperm. White rice and brazil nuts are solid endosperm.
