Wheatgrass - the green young
shoots of the wheat grain - has become one of the most widespread
supplemental health foods in the western world.
The benefits of
Wheatgrass have been researched for more than 70 years. Tray of Wheatgrass
That's why we
kn ow that wheatgrass contains a complex formulation of important
nutrients.
First and foremost:
- CHLOROPHYLL the pigment, which makes leave green
- AMINO ACIDS 18 different types
- ENZYMES more than 80 have been identified
- MINERALS 90 from 102 possible minerals
- VITAMINS C, E, A, B1, B2, B3, B6, K Folic Acid
- FATTY ACIDS Linolenic Acid, Linoleic Acid
70% of the
solid matter in Wheatgrass juice is crude Chlorophyll - the almost
magical chemical which plants produce by capturing pure sunlight and
converting it into energy (Photosynthesis). This is why Chlorophyll is also called concentrated sun power.
What is Wheatgrass ? It
is quite simply the young, freshly grown leaves of grains like Wheat or Barley . The benefits of the juice of these
young sprouts are manifold: - Wheatgrass juice cleanses and builds blood and improves skin and hair
- Wheatgrass juice builds muscle and endurance and helps to fight infections
- Wheatgrass can reduce high blood pressure and acts as an appetite suppressant
The
vitality obtained from wheatgrass juice is remarkable. Two oz. (50ml =
ca. 2 egg cups) of wheatgrass juice are equivalent to the nutritional
value of ca. 4 pounds of organic green vegetables in vitamin and
mineral content.
WHEATGRASS IS EASY TO GROW!
This is what is needed: plain trays - quality compost - wheat seed - and a suitable juicer.
Two types of Wheatgrass juicers are available (all are suitable as well for juicing softfruit):
- the Jupiter mechanical manual juicer (steel or stainless steel)
-
the Green Star Twin Gear masticating juicer, suitable for Wheatgrass
and all other fruit and vegetables. Very high juice yield, with "Bio-Magnets" to preserve juice longer.
This is how it works:
1) fill trays with compost and soak with water
2) sprinkle wheat seeds on compost (3 - 4 seeds per cm2) and cover with a thin layer of compost.
3)
Keep tray in a bright area at room temperature (additional light useful
during short days), water sparingly with Liquid Seaweed enriched water.
4) Wheat grain will sprout after some days.
After 2-3 weeks
the young Chlorophyll rich shoots will be ca.15cm (6") high and can
be cut and put
through the juicer.
Start your day with a Wheatgrass Coc ktail (e.g. mixed with
apple/carrot - or other fruit juice) ideally
before breakfast.
To get you going we offer a Starter Kit with:
