Una cariópside o cariopse, es un tipo de fruto simple, similar al aquenio, formado a partir de un único carpelo, seco e indehiscente. En ella el integumento y el pericarpio se han fusionado, formando una piel protectora. Llamada también "grano", es el tipo de fruto típico de las gramíneas (Poaceae) o cereales; el trigo (Triticum spp.), el arroz (Oryza sativa) y el maíz (Zea mays) forman cariópsides. En muchos casos, las "cáscaras" que protegen a estos frutos son los restos de las brácteas florales que los recubren; en sí, el integumento se ha incorporado a la parte que se consume. 1, record 4, Spanish, - grano

Los cereales de invierno son: trigo, cebada, avena, centeno y triticale. Así cuando se pretenden usar los cereales para obtener el grano, estas especies vegetales han de completar todo su ciclo y recolectarse durante los meses de julio y agosto, en el caso que nos ocupa, lo que se pretende es su aprovechamiento en verde, en fase vegetativa y como es precisamente durante el invierno cuando la fase vegetativa de los cereales es máxima, será este el momento de aprovechar estas praderas. 2, record 6, Spanish, - cereal%20de%20invierno
