#VeZot HaBracha (Birur 27) writes that the removal of a small piece of the kernel along with the shell doesn’t change it’s status of a whole kernel that was cooked without the shell which is a doubt in the Mishna Brurah 208:15.  
# If the grains had the shell and a piece of the kernel removed, the Bracha is mezonot. (Mishna Brurah 208:15; Aruch HaShulchan 208:17, Igrot Moshe 1:68). VeZot HaBracha (pg 283, Birur 27) adds that if only a small piece of the kernel along with the shell was removed the bracha is the same as if it's a whole kernel without the shell which is a doubt. However, Rabbi Moshe HaLevi in Birkat Hashem (vol 2 pg 129) and Halacha Brurah 208:16 hold that the Bracha is HaAdama just like raw wheat even if it doesn’t have it’s shell, a piece was taken off, and was roasted (since the kernels weren’t cooked).  
#Rabbi Moshe HaLevi in Birkat Hashem (vol 2 pg 129) holds that the Bracha is HaAdama just like raw wheat even if it doesn’t have it’s shell, a piece was taken off, and was roasted (since the kernels weren’t cooked). So holds Halacha Brurah 208:16.
