Wheat germ (short for germination) is an amazing source of vitamins, minerals and proteins. It is made from a part of the wheat grain that is the highest in vitamins and minerals and sprouts and grows into a new plant. This part of the grain is not included when the grain is ground into white flour and has a nutty flavour and distinct texture. It is not only great for you but also tastes great and leaves you feeling satisfied.
Wheat germ can be used to add a crunch to any recipe and also used in many breakfast recipes including pancakes and smoothies.
