Endosperm is a tissue produced inside the seeds of most of the flowering plants around the time of fertilization. It surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch, though it can also contain oils and protein.This can make endosperm a source of nutrition in human diet.For example, wheat endosperm is ground into flour for bread (the rest of the grain is included as well in whole wheat flour), while barley endosperm is the main source for beer production.Other examples of endosperm that forms the bulk of the edible portion are coconut meat and coconut water, and corn.Some plants, like the orchid, lack endosperm in their seeds.ther examples of endosperm that forms the bulk of the edible portion are coconut meat and coconut water, and corn.
