Wheat Germ

Wheat germ is the reproductive part of the wheat kernel and contains the embryo, which is the part that sprouts and grows into a new wheat plant. It is a highly nutritious and nutrient-dense food, with high amounts of protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Wheat germ is a good source of vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant in the body, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals. It also contains B-vitamins, iron, and zinc. Wheat germ can be added to smoothies, baked goods, and sprinkled on top of yogurt or cereal for added nutrition.
