grain vs. cereales

thank you again for your interesting information. Grain and cereales is a little bit confusing and could be that in the country of origin of the website was already not considered the meaning of both terms.

Happy to help. I just want to add something I didn't yesterday:

According to Oxford, grain without -s at the end can be a mass noun in the sense of "Wheat or any other cultivated cereal used as food" (as shown below without the note about it being a "mass noun").

See first list item at http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/grain

This is where it gets difficult since it basically overlaps with the meaning of "cereals" (as a normal plural, no mass noun): "Grains used for food, for example wheat, maize, or rye" (see below).

On a side note: Do you know that the description you have was copied and pasted to several websites from entirely different countries?

Did you visit the Cimbria website (the company which apparently started the whole translation thing)? Unfortunately, the translations there are powered by Google (may be the Russian one at the top is not), so I can't say for sure whether the source text is in English or Danish :(

BTW, Cambridge has a somewhat reliable EN-DE dictionary: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/de/worterbuch/englisch-deuts...

Here, they also say "Korn." It depends on how different you think Korn and Getreide are.

Thank you very much for your discussion entry. I will think about your idea to write "Getreidekörner" and to omit one of the terms!

That's the term I found for processing oilseeds. See this UK company:

Additionally, you would not say "Ölsaatgut," but "Ölsaat" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ölsaat).

I advise against the use of "körnige Produkte" - that's what you'd call "Schrot" and this is really not the place here for it.

cereal = "A grain used for food, for example wheat, maize, or rye." +
"A grass producing edible grain that is grown as an agricultural crop."
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/cereal

grain = "Wheat or any other cultivated cereal used as food." + "The seeds of wheat or other cultivated cereals."

Have a look here:
"The ‘pseudo-cereal’ group are not part of the Poaceae botanical family, in which ‘true’ grains belong, however they are nutritionally similar and used in similar ways to ‘true’ grains."
http://www.glnc.org.au/grains/types-of-grains/

Compare that to:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudogetreide

You do realize, however, that the original may just be bad writing? Compare that to the following UK companies:

http://beefandlamb.ahdb.org.uk/grazing-club/process-cereals-...

The whole thing is just called "cereal grains" = Getreidekörner. I would actually recommend you omit one of those two words (or write it as wolfheart suggested).
