Introduction
Organic
Wheatgrass has poetically been called ‘Nectar
of Rejuvenation & Plasma of Youth” and is what health
buffs call “complete food.”
Look around and you will see wheat grass popping up just
about everywhere. It is offered in health bars as fresh juice,
added to salads, smoothies and many other food products, or
can be bought in tablets, capsules and powders. Athletes and
health conscious people have used the fresh juice and its
dry products for many years now, with the general public slowly
but surely warming to it too.
Dehydrated wheat grass is convenient, nutritious, and safe
for anyone looking to improve their physical and mental well-being.
If you are looking for a health
elixir... wheat grass is “it”!
People in fast paced societies like ours often eat very little,
or none at all, of deep green, leafy vegetables. And those
of us who eat them regularly don’t usually consume anywhere
near the amount we need for balanced healthy living, unless
we supplement our diet with nutrient concentrated green foods
like wheat grass.
Well, maybe if you eat enough
green leafy vegetables you'd see some similar health giving
effects, but you would need to eat truckloads of raw (not
cooked) green vegetables.
Compared to the costs of other vegetables, wheat grass is
a real bargain,as well as being an extremely good way to make
sure you obtain enough of the nutrients and fiber provided
by deep green, leafy vegetables in your diet. And a major
advantage, which it has over most vegetables, is that it can
easily be grown organically.
What is Wheat Grass?
Dr. Earp-Thomas said, “Wheat is the king of all grain
foods".
Wheat grass is grown from the Red Wheat Berry, a special
strain of wheat that produces high concentrations of chlorophyll,
antioxidants, active enzymes, vitamins, vital amino acids
and other nutrients - as such, it is one of the most nutrient
dense substances on Earth.
It is packed with essential fatty acids and chlorophyll.
A study done in 1930 found that animals could survive on grass
alone, but failed on other healthy vegetables like carrots
and spinach!
Wheat grass is a lush green plant that will eventually become
a shaft of wheat, produce grain and be harvested. It has a
completely different structure when it is still in the grass
stage. At only seven days, the blade is 6 to 9 inches tall
and can be cut, juiced and then dried into leaf powder, which
can be tableted or capsulated.
The result is a product abundant with vitamins, minerals,
enzymes, chlorophyll and vital life energy.
