Crumbs are slung out (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

granules

'crumbs' is the definition.

'are slung out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'are'+'slung'='areslung'
'areslung' with letters rearranged gives 'GRANULES'.

(Another definition for granules that I've seen is " Small particles, of sugar perhaps".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
