wheatgerm recipes?

doddsy

Evening everyone!

Due to health reasons I want to increase my intake of wheatgerm, currently I sprinkle it over my breakfast, but was wondering if any of you use it, and if someone could point me in the direction of any recipes. Thanks in advancs

Do you do any baking? I add a tablespoon or so of wheatgerm to anything I'm baking, eg bread, flapjacks, parkin.

Possibly, you could sprinkle it into stews, too, I've done that with bran before. I don't know of any recipes that use wheatgerm as a main ingredient, but adding a little to everything would increase your intake.

Oh, I add wheatgerm to my HM cereal too, and I bet it would be nice mixed in with some fruit yogurt. Added to any dish that's that's quite liquid-y would probably work.

many thanks tb!! I will certainly try it in flapjack and perhaps coconut crunch, and probably yogurt too. I wonder if cooking it takes away any goodness??!

My H bought this last year and it's been lurking the cupboard ever since.
I have no idea what to use it for
Best before date shows as August 2008 but those dates have never stopped me using something before - does this stuff spoil (even if it's never been opened).
Or shall I just toss it (or feed the birds with it)?

I use wheatgerm in wheaten bread.

I can't post the recipe I use as I think it's copyrighted but THIS one is similar.

You can have mine you if you really want it (and trust an internet weirdo ) otherwise I've got to buy seeds etc to try and make that loaf that HariboJunkie suggested........

How about adding a couple of spoonfuls every time you make a 'mince' dish. It will just disappear (apart from thickening the gravy a bit) but you will still be getting the goodness.
