Wheat Germ

• Wheat germ: n. The vitamin-rich embryo of the wheat kernel that is separated before milling for use as a cereal or food supplement.

I've recently begun using a grain called wheat germ. Since I love to bake, I've had fun learning how to substitute it into different recipes, such as granola and muffins. Not only does wheat germ make baked goods taste more delicious (it has a subtle nutty flavor and is slightly sweet), but it is also very beneficial to your health. There are 23 nutrients in this delicious grain! Wheat germ is actually one of the most nutritional products that you can eat as it's packed with more protein, vitamins, and minerals than any other vegetable or grain. That's a wondrous fact--God made wheat, you know. Just think of all that the great Creator put into this teeny, tiny part of the wheat kernel that we may personally benefit from it!
