I often receive emails asking me what products I use and where to find more information on related topics.
I decided to create this page to let you know what wheat germ and products I personally use, and why. I have also included some books that have significantly changed the way I eat.
My Favorite and Recommended Products:
Toasted Wheat Germ |
Kretschmer Honey Crunch Wheatgerm
This is my absolute favorite wheat germ product and one I consume virtually every day. It has a delicious honey-nut taste and can be added to so many recipes or just sprinkled onto foods like cereals, soups, smoothies etc.

Raw Wheat Germ |
Fearn NatureFresh Raw Wheat Germ
The advantages of buying raw wheat germ is that it is cheaper and also retains more of its nutritional value. You can also toast it as deeply or lightly as you wish. Raw wheat germ can turn rancid quite quickly, but this company ensures no oxygen is allowed in the packaging to keep it fresh. As soon as you open a bag, keep it stored in the freezer and use it straight from there.

Wheat Germ Oil |
Viobin Wheat Germ Oil
Wheat germ oil has a greater concentration of omega-3 fatty acids and is one of the richest sources of octacosanol. Octacosanol is a long-chain fatty, waxy alcohol that has been shown to benefit the skin, heart, lower cholesterol levels and act as an anti-inflammatory. It is also used to enhance physical performance for strength and endurance. |
