Health Benefits of Wheat Germ
Bob’s Red Mill Wheat Germ Products
From pure wheat germ to high fiber mixes, here are a few Bob’s Red Mill products to get you started.Wheat Germ
Our high-quality Wheat Germ can be added to baked goods or used in meatballs. It can be used to coat cookies, top a casserole or replace breadcrumbs. It’s also wonderful when sprinkled over yogurt or cold cereal for an extra boost. Our wheat germ is made from the finest wheat kernels and contains a plethora of vitamins and minerals (including folate, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, vitamin E, thiamin and zinc). It also contains dietary fiber and essential fatty acids.Whole Wheat Flour
Our Whole Wheat Flour is made from red hard wheat and includes all of the nutrition from the wheat germ, bran and endosperm of the wheat kernels. We still grind our whole wheat flour the traditional way, on slow-turning cool-temperature quartz millstones. What this means is that when one pound of whole wheat berries go into the mill, one pound of whole wheat flour comes out.Organic High Fiber Pancake Mix
Our Organic High Fiber Pancake Mix includes organic ingredients like stone ground whole wheat pastry flour, Scottish Oatmeal, flaxseed meal, oat bran and wheat germ! It also has a touch of pure cane sugar for sweetness and makes for a fantastic base for fluffy pancakes and waffles. The mix can also be used for recipes like these High Fiber Apple Cinnamon Muffins, which are delicious in the fall when fresh apples are plentiful. If you’re searching for something a little fancier (yet still full of apples), this High Fiber Apple Dutch Baby is another fun way to get that wheat germ and fiber intake. What could be better than a warm oven-baked pancake, full of fiber, topped with sweet and spicy apples?Wheat Germ Recipes

Thanks!
is it processed with chemicals hexanes that "defatted wheat germ" as that strips away valuable nutrients. I am reading the bag and it does not state that it is processed in this way "defatted" but I just wanted to double check.
Thank you for your great products. Patti scanlon
I want to give my son of 7 years old wheat germ oil, because they are evidences that enhance speech and cognitive skills. How much can I give to him, daily?
Thanks.
