🌱 What it is
Wheat germ oil is a cold-pressed oil from the germ of the wheat kernel, rich in vitamin E and healthy fats.
📜 Where it comes from
Wheat germ oil rose to prominence in the early to mid 20th century when nutrition researchers isolated vitamin E from it and natural-health advocates began recommending it as a tonic for stamina and heart health. It became a staple of health-food stores in the mid-1900s, often marketed alongside other vitamin-rich oils. Its traditional use grew directly out of the whole-grain and natural-food movements of that era.

Give me wisdom to use it well and to stay watchful in every decision about this heart You gave me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
