Hint 4: It's used to create glass. The answer to the \"Grains you'd rather not eat?\" clue in the Oct. 14 NYT Mini Crossword puzzle is \"SAND.\" While grains are usually made into food, you don't want to be snacking on sand\u2014despite what any toddler may tell you.

With it only being a four-letter word, I quickly worked out the solution, so I'll rate the difficulty of this clue two out of five.
