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 amazing-- 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 quite remarkable. 500ml of wheatgrass juice is equivalent to the nutritional
value of approx. 2kilos of organic green vegetables in vitamin and
mineral content.
Wheatgrass juice contains -
- 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.

This is what is needed: growing trays - quality compost - wheat seed - and a suitable juicer.
This is how it works:
- Fill trays with compost and soak with water
- Sprinkle wheat seeds on compost (3 - 4 seeds per cm2) and cover with a thin layer of compost.
- Keep tray in a bright area at room temperature (additional light useful
during short days), water sparingly with Liquid Seaweed enriched water.
- 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.
