The nutritional benefits of wheatgrass

Wheatgrass's deep green juice is abundant in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, protein and chlorophyll. It contains every amino acid, vitamin and mineral necessary for human nutrition, making it one of the few actual “whole foods.”

Kilo for kilo, it has more vitamin C than oranges and twice the vitamin A of carrots.

Note: The Above is only true when wheatgrass is grown on organic soil which has not been depleted of minerals.

Wheatgrass is one of our richest sources of chlorophyl. This helps to normalise high blood pressure and stimulates healthy tissue-cell growth. Chlorophyll also has the ability to break down poisonous carbon dioxide which allows more absorption of oxygen into the bloodstream.
 
Wheatgrass juice also contains enzymes which help in the digestion and metabolisation of nutrients, and abscisic acid, which is known for its anti-tumour properties.
 
Is it a miracle? Perhaps. Most of the foods we eat today lack vitality. They contain preservatives, pesticides and hormones. Foods are often processed or overcooked, which destroys most of their nutritional properties.
 
Since wheatgrass juice is raw, drinking it gives us the vitamins, minerals and enzymes we need in one of the freshest and most natural forms available. It is quite simply one of the healthiest things you can put in your body.
