The wholesome nutrition of
wheat has long been recognized
in the wheat flour products we
enjoy each day. That same good
ness remains complete and intact
when the wheat kernel is cooked
as a grain and served as cereal,
or in side dishes, main dishes,
salads, soups and desserts.

the types of wheat products.
Wheat berry is the whole ker

ground for whole wheat flour.

beyond the ability of the naked eye to see FIR is
capable of penetrating deep into the human body It can
gently and delightfully elevate the body's temperature
When it does so, it helps to expand capillaries which
stimulates blood circulation. This increases the body's
energy reserve, and accelerates the metabolic exchange
between blood and body tissue. That's not all' FIR can
actually increase the body tissue's regenerative ability. It
also reduces abnormalities in nervous system and helps
