WHEAT GERM FAST FACTS
 
Wheat germ is a goldmine of very interesting nutrients. An excellent source of vitamin E, a good source of folic acid, thiamine and zinc, a source of fibre, magnesium and phosphorus – it would be hard to do without it!

Apart from these vitamins and minerals, wheat germ contains lipids rich in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Because of the presence of this fatty acid, wheat germ will tend to go rancid quickly.

Helpful hints!
Keep your wheat germ in the refrigerator to increase its storage life.

Multiple uses!
Just try it once and you’ll be delighted by its great tasting nutty flavour and light crunchy texture! You’ll be tempted to add it to food and dishes such as:

•  Breakfast cereals
•  Fruit salad
•  Stewed fruit
•  Yogurt
•  Muffins and banana bread
•  Croustades
•  Milk-fed veal meatloaf and patties, etc.
