I did a quick search but could not see much on wheat germ. Do you guys like it? If so how do you prepare it? It seems like a very good food. What does it taste like? Maybe even better than oats here is a breakdown of oats vs wheat germ. All below data is in grams per 100grams unless otherwise noted. I have nothing against oatmeal and am only using it as reference.

Oats

Fiber....10.6g
Iron ....4.7mg
Magnesium....177mg

Wheat germ

Okay I thought I would post this just incase anyone was interested.

By the way, how would one go about recognising a well balanced protein. What are the markers/indicators that one should look for that will indicate whether a protein is 'complete' or not?
