Natures First Stabilised Wheat Germ

Description

The edible part of the wheat kernel contains three different parts: the bran, the germ and the endosperm. When whole grains are refined the bran and germ are removed, leaving only the starchy high carb endosperm. What is the germ? It is the essential oil and nutrient rich part of the grain, the seed of life, that will grow using up the energy stored in the endosperm and protected by the bran until it sprouts. Stabilise wheat germ has simply been steamed to stabilise it so it does not oxidise and become rancid, yet retains the flavour and nutritional quality. It has a nutty and toasted taste, use as an addition to recipes to add nutrients, flavour and texture.
