I found a recipe that calls for toasted wheat germ. Do I need to use it or can I leave it out? If I should use it, where do I find it in the grocery store?

Thanks for any help.

    It's yummy! A little crunchier than bread crumbs, but similar. I use it in place of bread crumbs. It doesn't get soggy so much.

    Yes, it is on the isle with cereal/oatmeal/etc. I LOVE it added to smoothies - as someone else alreay said, it adds a nutty flavor. It's really good for you and yummy too!

    Thanks for all the replies. I think I will try it. It is an Au Gratin Potoato recipe. If it comes out good, I will post it.

    I am making a sampling of it probably tomorrow, and if it is good for a party on Saturday. I'll let you guys know how it is.

    It's pretty tasty plus they got a honey nut version I think too depending on what you're using it for. I like putting regular wheat germ on vanilla ice cream with a bit of honey. Tasty. :happy:
