The present invention relates to a method for obtaining grains of monocotyledonous plants, notably of poaceae and in particular of graminae, remarkable in that it comprises at least the following steps for harvesting plants in an immature condition, then separating the grains, and then removing the glumes and/or glumellae of the grains without drying or torrefaction in order to obtain immature, raw and entire grains substantially without glumes and/or glumellae. Another object of the invention relates to immature grains of monocotyledonous plants, notably of poaceae and in particular of graminae, the glumes and/or glumellae of which have been removed, capable of being obtained by a method according to the invention. The invention also relates to a food composition comprising grains according to the invention. Finally, a last object of the invention relates to a method for removing the husk(s) surrounding a vegetable material to be treated, remarkable in that it consists at least in the following steps of introducing the products into a fluid, then of projecting the fluid on at least one plate, the impact of the products mixed with the fluid causing removal of the husk(s) surrounding the vegetable material; as well as a device for applying this method.
A method for obtaining grains of monocotyledonous plants, notably of poaceae, and in particular of graminae, characterized in that it comprises at least the following steps:
The method according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the plants are harvested when the moisture level of the grains is between 70% and 50% so that the finished product has a green color with a green index (100-a) between 92 and 120, and a luminance (L) between 50 and 65.
Immature grains of monocotyledonous plants, notably of poaceae, and in particular of graminae, the glumes and/or glumellae of which have been removed, capable of being obtained by at least the following steps:
Immature grains of monocotyledonous plants, notably of poaceae, and in particular of graminae, characterized in that the total fiber content is between 12 and 20%.
A food composition comprising grains in which the total fiber content is between 12 and 20%.
A method for treating a vegetable material to be treated comprising the removal of one or several husks surrounding said vegetable material, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
A device for removing one or more husks surrounding a vegetable material to be treated, characterized in that it includes at least means (5,6) for forming at least one fluid flow (4), means (3) for introducing the products in the fluid flow and at least one plate (7) onto which the fluid flow (4) transporting the products is projected.
A food composition comprising grains obtained at least by the following steps:
