Wheatgrass is claimed to be nature’s finest medicine. Wheatgrass has twice the amount of Vitamin A as carrots and is higher in Vitamin C than oranges! It contains the full spectrum of B vitamins, as well as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and potassium in a balanced ratio. Wheatgrass is a complete source of protein, supplying all of the essential amino acids, and more. It has about 20% of total calories coming from protein.
Usage: Wheatgrass is often used for juicing or added to smoothies. It is best consumed on an empty stomach or accompanied with other fruits and vegetables. It is not recommended to be consumed after a meal. Equally important is to consume in less quantities (less than 20-30ml per serving) to begin with before increasing the serving sizes.
