Wheatgrass is a dark green leafy vegetable, more nutritious per gram than spinach, and contains high levels of chlorophyll and betacarotene. Sometimes referred to as “Mother Nature’s Multiple,” wheatgrass provides a wide array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and more. It’s usually grown in trays in a warm greenhouse or indoors under fluorescent lighting. After growing for just 7-10 days, the plant is then harvested and juiced for consumption.
What will drinking wheatgrass juice do for me?
Let’s rephrase the question: what would eating enough vegetables every day do for you? Thousands of private and government studies suggest that increased consumption of vegetables may reduce incidence of cancer and heart disease, and lead to fewer health problems across the board. Yet, over 90% of us fail to get the recommended 3-5 servings every day.
I’m allergic to wheat. Can I eat wheatgrass?
Almost certainly, yes. Wheat allergies are usually a reaction to the gluten found in the wheat berry. Wheat grass is a vegetable, cut before the wheat plant forms the grain (berry), and contains no gluten. Still, it’s always recommended that a doctor be consulted before adding anything new to the diet of a person with allergies.
