Potential for the Use of Germinated Wheat and Soybeans to Enhance Human Nutrition

  • Chapter
Book cover Nutritional Improvement of Food and Feed Proteins

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 105))

Abstract

Wheat and soybeans are the major agricultural exports of the United States. The U.S. sells more of each crop than any other nation. Soybeans are the main staple in China, but the U.S. sells more soybeans than China grows. For hundreds of millions of other people, wheat is the main staple. And yet, most Americans eat whole grains of neither wheat nor soybeans.
