SALEM, Mass., Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- King Fish Media, a leading provider of marketing solutions, and Kretschmer, the nation's leading brand of wheat germ, today announced the launch of www.MyWheatGerm.com. The destination website is filled with original content that highlights new ways to incorporate Wheat Germ into a healthy lifestyle.  With seasonal recipes, articles and nutrition tips from experts like Elizabeth Fassberg, R.D., consumers can learn how to make wheat germ a daily part of their active lives.
