Wheat kernels have several compartments that contain a variety of nutrients. The germ compartment is in the centre of the kernel and is responsible for providing nutrients to help the plant grow, reproduce and spawn new wheat. Wheat germ contains many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E, folate, phosphorus, thiamin, zinc and magnesium. This recipe is part of our April meal plan.

¼ cup old fashioned oats
¼ cup wheat germ
2 tbsp all-purpose flour

4 cups chopped strawberries
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup fresh orange juice
