Olvea Vegetable Oils Wheat germ oil

Wheat germ oil is obtained from wheat germ (Triticum aestivum L.). Wheat is thought to be one of the first grains ever cultivated. Wheat germ oil is highly rich in linoleic acid (omega-6). This fatty acid is essential because the body cannot synthesize it. It is known for the important role it plays in the structure of cell membranes.
