  "term": "Bearded",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "Describing a variety of cereal grain, such as wheat, barley, or rye, that has long, bristle-like fibers known as awns extending from the glumes that enclose the kernels. These awns serve to protect the developing grain from pests and can aid in seed dispersal. The presence of beards affects the bulk density and handling characteristics of the harvested grain, sometimes requiring adjustments to combine settings for efficient threshing and separation.",
