Wheat Germ
Wheat germ is the nutrient-rich embryo of the wheat kernel that's separated during the milling of refined flour. This concentrated source of nutrition contains high levels of vitamin E, folate, and essential minerals, while providing a notable amount of protein and healthy fats. Due to its oils being prone to oxidation, wheat germ should be refrigerated after opening and offers a subtle nutty flavor that enhances cereals, baked goods, and smoothies.
