Toasted wheat germ flour
Wheat germ is usually separated and discarded in the production of refined flours. It has a high quantity of fatty acids, mainly unsaturated, which can compromise the final quality of the flour and by-products with the formation of an off-flavour, shortening the shelf-life of the products.
The germinal part, however, is rich in nutrients and in addition to the lipid component, vitamins (group B and folate) and minerals such as phosphorus, potassium and selenium are present. Heat treatment processes can stabilise the fatty component of the seed, giving it a pleasant aroma with a toasted sweet note capable of enhancing leavened and unleavened baked goods, whether sweet or savoury.
