When I have wheat germ on hand, I sprinkle it on yogurt, oatmeal like just mentioned and whatever else looks right at the time. I also use it in meatloaf, brownies, cookies and breads like banana and carrot breads. You just reminded me, in fact, that I haven't had it around since we moved. wht

I have actually not used wheat germ. I probably should start to use it, as I've heard it has many health benefits. I have heard that it is a great source of vitamin E, which helps our skin. It is supposedly great to add to dishes when one has cut meat from their diets too. It is rich in fiber and zinc as well. How does it taste in the dishes to which you have added it?

I started putting it on my ice cream when I was a preteen more than 30 years ago - it is very good! it adds a bit of a crunch and a wholesome nuttiness.... not bad on yogurt either
i was not aware of all these nutritional values, thanks!

I sprinkle some on my cereal and also when I make a peanut butter sandwich I will sprinkle some on the peanut butter. Yogurts taste good with it also, there are many uses for it and it is a healthy additive to your foods.

i made cream of wheat cookies the other day since we were out of flour...they turned out pretty good, kind of chewy/grainy, but still good nonetheless. I would share the recipe here with you, but I didn't measure a darn thing out to tell you how I did it, but here's an ingredient list:
1 stick of butter
2 eggs
brown sugar
white sugar
unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup - 1 cup peanut butter
baking soda
baking powder
cream of wheat
a little bit of pancake mix
butterscotch chips
i know, probably sounds like the weirdest recipe either...we like ot experiment :)

I was sprinkling it on my cereal but it went off. It started to taste bitter and oily. I was really surprised because it was a large packet which I'd emptied into a clean, dry airtight container. Apparently it's a good source of fibre. I can't say I noticed the taste...maybe there are different variations.
