The term wheatgrass refers to grass, grown from hard wheat berries, which is grown indoors in trays for about 10 days and is then cut and squeezed into fresh juice. Although many varieties of grasses can be juiced, wheatgrass is the most popular. It contains such a wide range of nutrients that many consider it to be a complete food providing all that is needed to sustain life.

Because of its high concentration of chlorophyll, wheatgrass juice is often referred to as "liquid sunshine." But chlorophyll is just one of its many nutrients.

Wheatgrass is especially high in

• calcium,
• magnesium,
• potassium,
• B-vitamins and,
• the antioxident, vitamin E.

Wheatgrass is also used like an herbal medicine for its therapeutic role in blood purification, liver detoxification and colon cleansing. But, please remember that our bodies are unique. If you are new to juicing, we urge you to check with your health care professional before you make any dietary change

Juicing Wheatgrass

When juicing wheatgrass you must use a juicer specifically designed to "squeeze" the juice from the grass. Make sure your juicer is suitable for juicing grasses and leafy greens. If you are looking for a juicer, we offer a variety of affordable juicers to meet your needs. One pound of wheatgrass should yield approximately 10 ounces of juice. Experts recommend you start by taking a small amount of juice - about 1 oz. - on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning, and do not eat or drink for 15 minutes afterward. You can then gradually build up your intake to 2 ozs. daily.
