The build-up of the grain starts from a tiny bit of coagulated starch, the core of the starch grain in the making. This origin of the starch grain, the hilum, can be observed quite well with the help of a microscope. The glucose building stones are incorporated into the starch molecule 'to be' on the surface perpendicular to the surface of the grain. 1, record 1, English, - starch%20grain
