Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides wheat grain comprising (1,3;1,4)-β-D-glucan (BG). The wheat grain is characterised by one or more of the following features; a BG content of at least 3% (w/w); the BG of the grain has a DP3/DP4 ratio between about 1.0 and about 2.0 or between about 1.0 and 2.3; and the BG is partially water soluble such that between 8.0% and about 25% or between about 10% and about 25% of the BG of the grain is water soluble. The present invention also provides uses of this grain.
