"Analyze" > "Particle Analyzer" fit ellipse seems to be a good option to
estimate the length and width. major/minor axis of the ellipse
should be approximately equal to length/width of the food grains.
Furthermore this option should have the advantage to be not so sensitive
to noise, shadow or ragged borders of the food grains.
- select straight "Analyze" > "Set Scale"
(set Known Distance and Unit of length)
- select dirt and "Edit" > "Clear"

- OK, "Major"/"Minor" in Results = length/wide of fitted ellipse.
