The main objectives of the present research work were to study the effects Of moisture content on some characteristics of grains. the method could be used by grain industry to sequence be have moisture content during re-wetting processing and to predict moisture content by calibration of electric resistance of grains to increase grain quality in order to minimize grain.Corn variety 10, Wheat variety Giza 168 and Rice variety Sakha 103 grains were used in the experiments as re-wetting process and measurements. Grains were with the initial moisture content of about 12.5%, 12% and 11% (b. d) for corn, wheat and rice grains. The grains were milled using hammer mill. The following most tmprtant results conclusions were found, 1) The suitable moisture content was 16, 15.5 and 16.5 % of corn. wheat and rice grains, respectively at about 1.5 h of re-wetting time. Which lead to increase weight of 1000 grains was 470, 43 and 26 g . and water absorbed of grains were 0.0279, 0.0023 and 0.0017g
