Wheat is an ancient plant widely consumed worldwide.
The grain or seed is the part of the plant that is used the most. Specifically, the germ is the part of the seed with the highest nutritional value, containing a high concentration of vitamins, minerals, proteins and oils.
Wheat germ is a rich source of several essential nutrients including B vitamins (like Folic acid) and essential fatty acids (those that the body cannot synthesize de novo and need to be incorporated through diet).
Wheat germ is also a good source of proteins and fiber, which provide important properties to the product.
