Sneaky Nutrition: Spike Your Family's Food With Wheat Germ

Wheat germ is an easy way to boost the nutritional properties of the food we eat and I've been sneaking it into everything I can lately!

[su_quote cite="Wikipedia: Cereal germ" url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereal_germ"]Wheat germ or wheatgerm is a concentrated source of several essential nutrients including Vitamin E, folate (folic acid), phosphorus, thiamin, zinc, and magnesium, as well as essential fatty acids and fatty alcohols.[8][9] It is a good source of fiber.[10] White bread is made using flour that has had the germ and bran removed.[11] Wheat germ can be added to protein shakes, casseroles, muffins, pancakes, cereals, yogurt, smoothies, cookies, and other goods.[12][/su_quote]

Concentrated source. Of all that good stuff! The stuff that was taken out of the flour we buy at the store. Flour we use in everything from our bread and tortillas to pastries and gravies.

Wheat germ isn't just a good but unexciting, spur-of-the-moment nutrition experiment. There are actually some really delicious recipes on Kretschmer's website that use wheat germ in some really surprising ways!
