edit About Wheat Germ

Wheat germ is the inner embryo of the wheat kernel that is separated before milling for use as a cereal and food supplement. Wheat germ contains very high levels of vitamins and minerals and is considered to be the most nutritious part of the kernel.

Wheat germ is readily available and is often used as a cereal or added to foods such as yogurt for added nutritional value. It has a desirable nutty flavor, and as it is high in fat is also used to make wheat germ oil.
