### ch02p61 wheat seeds are similar to eggs <blockquote class="paraphrase"> A grain of domesticated wheat has three main components. The embryo is the seed, the bran that coats it (about 12% of the weight, probably comparable to eggshells), and then there’s the endosperm, which makes up 86% of the grain weight. The endosperm is where all the starch, oils, and proteins are. The endosperm is what got a lot bigger because of domestication. </blockquote> - [[Tamed by Alice Roberts#ch02p61 wheat seeds are similar to eggs|View in Vault]]
