Organic Wheat Germ Oil
Organic Wheat Germ Oil is a rich, golden, nutrient-dense oil extracted from the germ (embryo) of organically grown wheat kernels. Produced without synthetic pesticides or chemical inputs, this oil is known for its exceptionally high vitamin and antioxidant content. It is typically extracted through cold-pressing to preserve delicate nutrients that are naturally present in the wheat germ.
Because wheat germ makes up less than 5% of the whole grain, it is one of the most concentrated natural sources of vitamins, essential fatty acids, and plant-based antioxidants.
Organic Wheat Germ Oil is renowned for its exceptional nutrient concentration, especially its vitamin content.
