Understanding Wheat Middlings
Wheat middlings—sometimes called wheat mids—are a co-product of the wheat milling process. They include fine particles of bran, germ, and a small portion of flour. This nutrient-dense byproduct offers an excellent balance of protein, fiber, and energy, making it a valuable component in feed formulations.
Often derived during the production of white flour, wheat middlings are dried, ground, and standardized for various applications across feed and nutrition sectors.
