What are micronutrients and which ones are naturally in wheat?
Micronutrients are essential vitamins and minerals required on a daily basis to ensure good health and to enable the body to fight diseases. They are referred to as micronutrients because individuals need them in small quantitites. The important micronutrients found naturally in grains are B group vitamins (B1, 2, 3, 5, 6), folate (also known as vitamin B9) vitamin E, . But nutrients are mainly in the outer layers of grain or in the germ, and much of this is lost as the grain is milled.
