Will raw wheat germ make our smoothie bitter?

If the wheat germ is freshly prepared from wheat grains it will not be bitter.

When the wheat germ is rancid it no longer has any special nutritive value. If a package of wheat germ is on sale, it is probably because it went rancid and the store manager knows it.
