Wheatgerm

Benefits of Wheatgerm

Wheatgerm is the part of the wheat grain that Hovis was founded on over 120 years ago. 

What is wheatgerm?

A wheat grain contains three main parts – the outer bran, which is rich in fibre; the middle endosperm, which contains protein and carbohydrate; and the wheatgerm. 

The wheatgerm is the heart of the wheat berry which is packed with nutrients that feeds the grain when it germinates.

These nutrients include: 

  • Vitamin E: helps protect cells from oxidative damage and is good for skin and nails
  • B vitamins: helps us to release the energy from foods
  • Zinc: needed for healthy skin, nails and hair, as well as building proteins in the body
  • Iron: essential for making red blood cells, transporting oxygen around the body, keeping our immune system functioning properly, mental function in adults and development in kids
  • Potassium: needed for normal muscle function and maintaining normal blood pressure
