Just 1 2/3 tbsp. of wheat germ contains the adult recommended dietary allowances (RDA) of 4g of protein, 6 percent of iron, 20 percent of vitamin E, 20 percent of folic acid and 10 percent of thiamin, according to WholesomeBabyFood.com. This nutrient-rich food, like flax, contains oils that mean you must store it properly or it may go rancid, characterized by a bitter taste, quickly. If you purchase raw wheat germ as opposed to toasted wheat germ, it may go rancid even sooner.
