What it is

Wheat germ flour is made from the germ of the wheat kernel, which is the part that sprouts into a new plant. It is rich in nutrients like fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. The germ is separated from the bran and endosperm during the milling process and then ground into a fine flour.

Why it's used

Wheat germ flour is used to add a nutty flavor and a nutritional boost to foods. It can be incorporated into baked goods like breads, muffins, and cookies, as well as cereals and snack bars. Manufacturers add it to increase the fiber and nutrient content of their products.

Health notes

Wheat germ flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of nutrients found in whole grains. JECFA has evaluated wheat germ and found it to be safe. No significant controversies exist regarding its use in typical food amounts.

Allergen info

Wheat germ flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
