About Oil, wheat germ
Wheat is one of the world's most important cereal grains, a grass cultivated across the globe and ground into the flour behind bread, pasta, noodles, couscous, crackers, and countless baked goods. Grown on more land than any other food crop, it comes in several types, including hard high-protein varieties prized for chewy breads, soft wheats for tender cakes and pastries, and durum wheat milled into semolina for pasta.
Each kernel holds three parts: the fiber-rich bran, the nutrient-packed germ, and the starchy endosperm, and whole-wheat flour keeps all three while white flour uses mainly the endosperm. Wheat supplies carbohydrates for energy along with plant protein, fiber, B vitamins, iron, and selenium, though its gluten makes it unsuitable for people with celiac disease or wheat allergy. From fluffy loaves to flaky pastry, that gluten gives dough the stretch and structure bakers rely on.
Store flour and wheat products in a cool, dry, airtight container, and keep whole-grain flours in the refrigerator or freezer, since their natural oils can turn rancid.
