Wheatgerm

Wheatgerm relieves constipation and also supports heart health. Wheatgerm is rich in folate and it also provides antioxidant protection. Wheatgerm is nutrient-rich and also contains vitamins B1 and B6 and E.

Wheatgerm is best eaten fresh. It must, like other grains, be stored in airtight containers.

Two tablespoons eaten daily provide an adult with 40% of his/her folate and vitamin B1 needs.
