General

In addition to its primary role as a source of carbohydrates and protein - around 20% of the world's needs are met by wheat - wheat is a source of numerous important nutrients in the human diet. These include minerals, dietary fibre, fats and secondary metabolites. It is clear that these nutrients are also present in higher concentrations in other raw materials such as vegetables. Due to its sustainable production and the high per capita consumption of wheat via bread, pastries, muesli and pasta, wheat and its nutrients are of great importance for humankind, with around 25% of the minerals and dietary fibre that we humans consume coming from wheat. On the other hand, wheat is responsible for very few but serious diseases - coeliac disease, wheat allergy and wheat sensitivity. We are not doctors or nutritional experts, but on this page we want to present what we believe to be the current and scientifically proven state of knowledge.
