Kernels charred or scorched by fire are considered fireburnt. A cross-section of a fireburnt kernel resembles charcoal, with numerous air holes. These air holes result in a low-weight kernel which crumbles easily under pressure. Unlike a binburnt kernel, a fireburnt kernel weighs much less than a normal kernel of comparable size. 2, record 1, English, - fireburnt%20kernel

Les grains carbonisés ou roussis par le feu sont considérés comme étant brûlés. Une coupe transversale d’un grain brûlé ressemble au fusain, avec plusieurs trous d’air. Ces trous donnent un grain de poids inférieur qui s’effrite facilement sous pression. Contrairement à un grain brûlé en entreposage, un grain brûlé pèse considérablement moins qu'un grain normal de grosseur comparable. 2, record 1, French, - grain%20br%C3%BBl%C3%A9
