Wheat germs are the most valuable part of wheat. They are a valuable source of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and unsaturated fat. Besides these nutritional benefits, wheat germs also have an excellent taste profile, with a slightly nutty aftertaste. The high content of unsaturated fatty acids in wheat germs limits their shelf life. Therefore, the wheat germ is removed during flour production. Acatris only uses and sells Viogerm® wheat germs from Swiss producer Hochdorf AG, which have been conserved by a mild treatment to preserve the nutritional value, and at the same time prolong the shelf life to one year. 
Acatris has several types of Viogerm® wheat germ ingredients available, e.g. grits, flour and oil. Please see the Viogerm® product factsheet, or contact our sales department to find out which ingredient is most suitable for your application.
