Good Germs

Wheat germ is the nutrient-rich embryo of the wheat kernel that is removed during the processing of whole wheat grains to white flour and only makes up about two to three percent of the entire wheat kernel . Although not technically a food, wheat germ is considered to be one of the top 10 healthiest foods to include in a balanced diet because it is such a good source of so many essential vitamins and minerals and healthy fats.

Can be added to:
Breakfast cereals
Oatmeal
Pancake and waffle mixes
Smoothies
Yogurt
Breads and muffin mixes
Cottage cheese
Homemade protein bars
Casseroles
Also replaced breading for meats!!!  Totally tricks Todd everytime!
