Wheat Germ Oil has a nutty aroma and is extracted by pressing or solvent extraction from the wheat germ.  It is a valuable source of Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, and is more resistant to light and heat than vegetable oils.  It helps relieve dermatitis symptoms, promotes skin cell formation, and improves blood circulation. Wheat germ Oil is used to prevent and reduce scarring and speeds up healing of cuts and wounds.

The wheat we know today is from a hybrid wild wheat that grew 10,000 years ago in the Middle East. The wheatgerm portion of wheat grain contains 25% of the protein along with many minerals and vitamins.  Unfortunately, this is the portion that is milled away to produce white flour!

Therefore, there is very little wheat set aside, worldwide, for production of this oil.  To complicate matters, we have to consider that it takes 15 tons of wheat to produce one litre of wheat germ oil. This explains why this is such an expensive oil!
