Wheat Germ Oil

Wheat germ oil is extracted from the germ of the wheat kernel, which makes up 2-3% by weight of whole grain wheat. Wheat germ may yield 8-14% of oil in its total content. In a reference amount of 100 grams, wheat germ oil supplies 884 calories. Wheat germ oil has a high content of vitamin E, the content of which diminishes substantially due to oxidation by extrusion treatment, oven-roasting or storage for 6 weeks. As a cooking oil, it is strongly flavored and easily perishable.

Wheat Germ Oil derived from the germ of the wheat berry, which is the nutrient-dense core that feeds the plant as it grows. This also means that the majority of usable chemicals and compounds are found in this germ.

Kernel Wheat Germ Oil is particularly high in octacosanol – a 28-carbon long-chain saturated primary alcohol found in a number of different vegetable waxes.
