If needed for storytelling, after establishing strong context -- you
can depict an individual grain with a classifier-G
After establishing context via fingerspelling, some signers use the traditional / older sign for CEREAL brushing
the x handshape of the dominant hand along the forearm of the
non-dominant hand representing a scythe reaping wheat. Generally
uses a double movement but the movement may be reduced later in the
same conversation.
During storytelling if by grain you mean "seeds" you could use the
sign for "seeds"
Notes: You may some people sign grain uses a "G" handshape on the dominant hand to show
small bits of grain as if lined up on the index finger of the
non-dominant hand. However this tends to conflict with the sign for peas.
