What is wheat germ?

It's the "heart" of the wheat kernel - a good source of several essential nutrients including vitamin E, folate (folic acid), phosphorus, thiamin, zinc, and magnesium.

A two-tablespoon serving of Mother's® Wheat Germ with added Vitamin E and Folic Acid may help to improve your vitality and promote a healthy heart.

Wheat germ adds a delicious taste and healthy crunch to virtually any recipe.

Mother's Wheat Germ is lightly toasted, giving it a crunchy nut-like taste and making it a perfect addition to many of your favorite foods and recipes. Wheat germ can replace up to 1/2 cup of the flour in recipes for muffins, breads, pancakes, and many other baked goods.

Substitute wheat germ for bread crumbs when coating fish, chicken or veggies, or when making burgers, meatloaf or meatballs. Stir it into your fruit smoothies. Or, simply sprinkle it on top of your favorite salads, vegetables, pastas or yogurt for an easy way to add extra nutrition.
