Wheat germ is the reproductive part of the wheat kernel that germinates
and forms the wheat grass. The germ accounts for a very small amount of
the kernel, approximately 2.5 percent.
It comes in jars and bags. It can be bought at any supermarket.
Manufacturers remove wheat germ during general wheat kernel processing.
They do this because it contains oils that will go rancid in wheat
products over time.
It has a lot of nutrition and can be added to recipes like muffins or
to a bowl of cereal.
