4. DEFINITION OF CRACKED CORN a.Cracked corn, as described in this directive, is Not Standardized Grain thatconsists of broken kernels of shelled dent corn and/or shelled flint corn. Crackedcorn kernels are kernels that are chipped or broken and not 100% intact from their original shape and size. b. The sample must not meet the definition of corn (i.e., grain consisting of 50% or more of whole kernels of shelled dent corn and/or shelled flint corn and not more than 10% of other standardized grains) to be considered as cracked corn. c.Visually examine the sample to determine if it meets the definition of corn or cracked corn. If an analysis is necessary, make the determination on a 250-gram representative portion on the basis of the sample as a whole. From the 250-gram portion remove all whole kernels (i.e., kernels with less than one fourth broken off) of corn and, if necessary, other standardized grains and calculate the percentage of whole kernels of corn and other standardized grains.

So, you may not care, but Uncle Sam does. However, I find the USDA’s definition to be questionable, for in the definition, they say that whole kernels, are those with less that one fourth broken off, I am going to send them 3/4 of my taxes, and call that whole.
