WHEAT GERM

Wheat Germ is the nutritious heart of the wheat kernel. These delicious flakes include many nutrients like folate, vitamin E and thiamin. You can add wheat germ while cooking hot cereal and baked goods for a nutty flavor and pleasant crunch.

Our delicious wheat germ is made from the finest wheat kernels and contains vitamins and minerals like folate, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, vitamin E, thiamin and zinc. It also contains dietary fiber, which can help control blood sugar levels, and essential fatty acids. Vitamin E and fatty acids contain high levels of antioxidants, which are thought to reduce free radicals that can lead to premature aging. Other potential health benefits associated with wheat germ and whole wheat grain are a reduction in the risk of heart disease.

Now we can’t claim that eating our delicious wheat germ is the key to the fountain of youth, but it is a simple and delicious way to add vitamins, fatty acids and fiber to your diet. Because it is milled from fresh delicious wheat kernels, our wheat germ does contain gluten.

White flour is created solely from the starchy endosperm and lacks the fiber of the bran and the delicious nutrients of the germ. However, you’ll want to use this delightful wheat germ, both because it’s a great nutritional supplement and because it’s so delicious! Add this wheat germ to your favorite bread recipe to add nutrients, flavor and texture.

Because the natural oils are retained in this raw wheat germ, you’ll want to refrigerate it to maintain its freshness and nutrition. And of course, wheat germ should be avoided by those with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance.

Good things come to those who bake: DO NOT EAT RAW WHEAT GERM.
We recommend toasting before use. To toast Wheat Germ, place it on a baking sheet and bake for 5 – 10 minutes at 350°, stirring frequently, until the Wheat Germ is lightly browned, with a nutty flavor and crunchy texture. .
