Is wheat germ healthier for you raw or toasted?

Wheat germ is healthier for you raw.

Raw means the wheat germ has not been heated, irradiated or processed in any way, and as such will retain the highest amount of nutrients.

When raw wheat germ is toasted, it loses a lot of its nutritional value, including a significant reduction in vitamin E, which is an antioxidant that helps to protect cells from damage. Other nutrients that are lost when wheat germ is toasted include vitamins B1, B2, and B6, as well as minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and iron.
