What is wheat germ?
Wheat germ is a part of a wheat kernel that helps the plant to reproduce. A wheat kernel consists of three parts: the outside shell, the starchy endosperm (people use it to produce flour) and the wheat germ (the reproductive part). In other words, the wheat germ is responsible for a healthy new organism, that’s why it contains many beneficial nutrients.
For years, the germ and bran parts have been removed from processed wheat products so that they can be stored for longer. But as it turns out, wheat germs can be good for health, so people start to add them into their diet.
