A system and method are provided for separating seed or grain based on optical differences in the starch composition. A method for separating seed or grain based on optical differences in the starch composition includes receiving a seed group comprising a plurality of seeds. The method further includes illuminating each seed of the seed group from an illumination source disposed behind the seed such that the seed is back-illuminated. The method further includes sorting each seed of the seed group based on the differences in the starch composition. In some cases, the method includes sorting each seed by separating the seed group into the following groups: waxy seeds and non-waxy seeds.
