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. 50ml (= 2oz or 2 egg cups) 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 leaves 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.

You will need: 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.
