Wheatgrass is widely acknowledged as one of nature’s existing super foods. When grown in organic soil wheatgrass retains 82 out of the 92 minerals that are present in soil and 1oz of wheatgrass juice is said to contain the same amount of nutrients as 2.5 lbs of green vegetables. The following wheatgrass information will inform you of the various reasons why people swear by wheatgrass. Wheatgrass is grown from the Red Wheatberry which is a special strain that contains high concentrations of chlorophyll, amino acids, enzymes, minerals and vitamins. Wheatgrass must be juiced to obtain the maximum nutritional value from it. In its non-juiced form wheatgrass is non-digestible due to the high levels of cellulose and its fibrous nature. Wheatgrass juice makes all the high levels of nutrients the wheatgrass contains available for digestion. For further wheatgrass nutrient information see the wheatgrass nutrient information. Wheatgrass can be bought in health food shops or it can be grown at home. Wheatgrass kits are available which enable you to grow your own wheatgrass which can be more economical than buying it from a shop. Wheatgrass can be grown indoors if you have a window that receives sunlight daily. The added benefit of growing your own wheatgrass is the fact that it is fresher when it gets to your juicer – not damaged in transportation or hanging around on shop shelves. Because of this your home grown wheatgrass retains more of its nutrient content when it gets to your wheatgrass capablejuicer. Wheatgrass should be cut when it reaches around 7 to 8 inches as this is when it reaches its nutritional peak. The taste of wheatgrass juice may seem a little strange to some and you may prefer to make juice from a combination of wheatgrass and other fruit / vegetables. See some example Happy Juicer Wheatgrass juice recipes. Because of the strong taste and high nutrient content many people start off drinking around an ounce of wheatgrass juice a day (with/without other juices) and then gradually increase the amount to around 4oz of wheatgrass juice a day. One handful of wheatgrass will produce approximately an ounce o juice. Another great feature of wheatgrass is that it is gluten-free (despite having wheat in its name) and so is suitable for anyone who has a gluten intolerance. Wheatgrass nutrient information Wheatgrass is packed full of nutrients that are of great benefit to your health. Where does one start when talking about the nutrient content and benefits of wheatgrass juice? Wheatgrass contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino-acids (used to build proteins) and large amounts of chlorophyll. Wheatgrass consists of 70% chlorophyll. This is significant because chlorophyll is very similar in structure to Haemoglobin. Haemoglobin plays a vital part in our red blood cells functionality, enabling the blood to carry oxygen to the different parts of the body, chlorophyll is very similar in structure to Haemoglobin. Because of this chlorophyll is often know as “the blood of plant life” and as such the high levels of chlorophyll found in wheatgrass can be easily absorbed by our bodies and used to rebuild the blood. Read more about wheatgrass health benefits. The high cholorphyll content of wheatgrass also acts as a powerful detoxifier cleansing the liver, cells, tissues and blood Juicing is necessary to release the nutrients contained in wheatgrass into a digestible form. Find out more information on juicing wheatgrass. Wheatgrass contains vitamin A, vitamin C, B complex vitamins, vitamins E and K. Wheatgrass also contains 82 out of the 92 minerals found in soil including calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Potassium, Phosphorus and Cobalt. Wheatgrass also contains numerous amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks the body uses to make proteins. Protein found in meat, fish, eggs etc needs breaking down into amino acids before being built into protein. Wheatgrass provides the body with the protein building blocks so there is no need to expend energy on breaking the proteins down into amino acids. Because wheatgrass juice is raw the amino acids do not suffer from any deficiencies in structure caused by heat.It is said that vitamin, mineral and enzyme content in one ounce of wheatgrass juice is equivalent to levels found in about 2.5 pounds of other green vegetable juice. The high level of enzymes contained in wheatgrass juice help the body in the metabolism of nutrients and help in the repair and generation of cells and tissues. Read more on how the nutrient content relates to the health benefits of wheatgrass. Single juice juicer recipes Juices that are commonly sold in shops are often made up of only a single juice type, e.g. apple juice or orange juice. Don't stick to this format because that is all you are used to seeing in the shops. Using just a single type of juice is ok but the number of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and enzymes that one juice contains will not be as much as a juice drink which combines juice from a number of different ingredients. Ironically wheatgrass juice which does contain a wide spread of nutrients doesn't taste anywhere near as nice as fruit or vegetable juices and so although drinking wheatgrass by itself is nutritionally very beneficial, many would argue that it tastes a lot better when combined with other ingredients to make a multi juice juicer recipe. Multi juice juicer recipes Combining a number of different ingredients not only gives a wider nutritional base to your juicer recipe but it also unleashes the of thousands of different great taste sensations. Don't be afraid to experiment in creating your own juicer recipes, just remember to go steady with strong tasting ingredients such as garlic, leeks, ginger etc and then gradually build up the amount until it meets your tastes. As a warning - the first time I used leek in a recipe I put to much in and could only manage half the juice before having to throw the rest away as it was causing stomach pains. Many juicer recipes are aimed at achieving a certain goal, for instance the recipe might combine ingredients thats effects will be to give the user energy. Types of recipe include energy juices, immune system boosting juices, illness / condition fighting juices, aphrodisiac juices and healthy looks juices. HOW EASY IS IT TO GROW?With a small initial capital outlay, and a little on-going effort in tending your crop, you can grow trays of wheatgrass very easily. It is one of those habits that's easy, once you know how, and you've experimented a few times! There are 2 mediums in which to grow wheatgrass - using soil or hydroponically (using water). Traditionally, wheatgrass, like any plant, is best grown in soil. The nutrient levels are slightly reduced by growing in water, but this method is convenient for those people who cannot make compost, etc. in a garden, and those who just want to keep the growing really simple. You can try both methods, and choose which suits your own circumstances best. Growing instructions are included with the kits, which provide the ingredients for a minimum of 4 trays. ARE WE REALLY SO UNHEALTHY? Two of the most salutary trends in modern nutrition are the malnutrition of affluent society and mass dehydration - both lead to poor health. We are increasingly dependent on refined foods, low quality, mass produced meat, fruit and vegetables. We are subject to massive media exposure of the high sugar drinks and fast food outlets. There is an increasing need to add fertilisers to improve yields from impoverished soil, and to use of growth hormones and antibiotics in the production of meat. Other factors - such as the tight margins demanded by supermarket giants - all conspire to reduce the nutritional value of our foods. The poor quality of our tap water does little to encourage us to drink the recommended daily quota. Our reliance on high energy sugar drinks and stimulants, such as tea and coffee, combine to dehydrate our systems still further. The results can include a reduction in the efficiency of our immune systems, a lowering of reserves through the poor nutrient content of our diet and a propensity to infections . . .IT'S NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM, HOWEVER . . .An increase in the public's awareness of these issues has led to an enormous increase in the consumption of organic foods, a suspicion of GMO foods, the on-going call for adequate food labelling and increased use of water purification. Alongside the quantum leaps in our understanding of the importance of living foods and the factors that have led to the deterioration in the quality of our food, come the welcome proliferation of the juice bar, the complementary health clinic, and the local wholefood shop. An organic, freshly prepared juice in a gym or juice bar may cost £3 or more, but an increasing number of people are looking for ways to boost their intake of fresh organic nutrients and of pure water AT HOME. What is it about wheatgrass, that leads it to feature on the menus of fashionable juice bars, to help increasing numbers of people in their fight against cancer, to boost the immune system, and to be an important element in most detox programmes? Steve Meyerowitz, known as Sproutman in the US, describes wheatgrass as "a sunshine transfusion" Dr Ann Wigmore healed her gangrenous legs with it in the 1970's and later ran the Boston marathon; and our own Living Foods expert, Elaine Bruce, who was a student of the late Ann Wigmore, describes it as an essential ingredient of the Living Foods Programme. Click Here for a Printer Friendly Fact Sheet on Wheatgrass & The Wheatgrass Starter Kit SO . . . WHY DRINK WHEATGRASS JUICE?Wheatgrass earned its reputation from people with terminal illnesses, who took it at the eleventh hour after conventional medicine left them with no hope. In the 1970s, Dr Ann Wigmore opened the Hippocrates Health Institute, in Boston, nourishing terminally ill patients back to health with fresh squeezed wheatgrass. Dr Charles F Schnabel (1895 - 1974) chemist and agriculturalist, knew from his work with his farm animals and his research in the laboratory, that wheatgrass boosts nutrition, builds good blood and strengthens immunity. More recently, there are many studies demonstrating the efficacy and nutrition of grass foods, using both clinical evidence and testimonials. In the US there are numerous healing centres, where wheatgrass plays a key role in the diet. There are courses run in the UK by proponents of wheatgrass and raw, living foods. Wheatgrass has long been used like a herbal medicine - for its therapeutic and nutritional properties. Although wheat is the most popular, barley, oats and rye are equally potent.So what's it good for?Blood purification, Liver detoxification, Colon cleansing. As a food Wheatgrass is very nourishing and restorative with a complete range of nutrients. Therapeutically, the fresh juice can be drunk or applied rectally using a enema implant. For disease prevention, you can make powdered drinks, take it in tablet or capsule form, or drink the fresh juice as part of a long term health maintenance programme. For those with an intolerance to gluten, do not be put off . . . The grain metamorphoses completely into a vegetable, with none of the allergic proteins common to the glutenous grains.". . . our food is our medicine and our medicine is our food" - Hippocrates, the father of medicine.It has long been established that the best medicine is a whole, natural food. All known nutrients were found in concentrated form in wheatgrass, including what are now known as phytochemicals. Also anti-oxidants, enzymes, 20 amino acids, vitamins including: folic acid, calcium, zinc, selenium, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, potassium, and cellular RNA and DNA. Similar natural superfoods containing a broad spectrum of concentrated nutrients are bee pollen, spirulina, chlorella and blue green algae. They all provide the raw materials from which the body manufactures what it needs and balances its own chemistry. Grasses, along with alfalfa and these algae, are the richest sources of chlorophyll on the planet. Green plant cells are the only cells capable of absorbing the energy of the sun. The famous research scientist E. Bircher called chlorophyll "concentrated sunpower - it increases the functions of the heart, improves the vascular system, the intestines, the uterus and the lungs. It raises the basic nitrogen exchange and is therefore a tonic which, considering its stimulating properties cannot be compared with any other". The amount of juice you drink is totally up to you.Steve Meyerowitz says "Grass is non-toxic in any dose, but you may react to the results of its detoxifying power. All grass is a powerful purgative for the liver, and too much can release too many poisons too quickly". EXPERIMENT! Start with small quantities. It can be mixed with other juices or taken neat. Notice the effects of a daily 1oz shot! Remember - it's concentrated sunpower! Rocket fuel! Greenpower! Living food! Whatever it becomes for you . . . have fun!

Wheatgrass FAQs

Wheatgrass FAQs including information on nutrition and growing your own wheatgrass

How do I grow my own wheatgrass?

Wheatgrass can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with and without soil. One of the most popular methods of growing wheatgrass at home is to invest in a sprouter. See how to buy wheatgrass online

Does wheatgrass contain gluten?

No wheatgrass is a suitable food type for those with a gluten intolerance. Although wheat grain contains gluten, wheatgrass is not a grain, it is a green vegetable and as such contains no gluten.

How much wheatgrass juice can you drink a day?

It is recommended by Ann Wigmore that you start drinking about 1 oz of wheatgrass juice per day. After a few weeks you can increase the level of wheatgrass juice to 2 ounces. Over the next few months you can build up to 4 ounces of wheatgrass juice per day.

How do I avoid mould when growing wheatgrass?

Mould is the most common problem when growing wheatgrass (In fact it is often the only problem). It can be identified as white blobs forming (normally around the base of the wheatgrass stalks) when it is alive and black spots when it is dead. The following are all suggestions for preventing mould formation on your home grown wheatgrass. Do not soak your wheatgrass seeds for longer than 8 hours. After soaking, plant the seeds as soon as you have drained them. Try and keep your growing micro-climate from becoming to hot or too humid, a temperature around 65-68° F is recommended.

Is mould formation on wheatgrass of any significance?

Mould formation on wheatgrass can be of great significance. Some people are allergic to mould and it is also bad news for people who suffer from asthma. It has been reported that intake of mould can result in instant body reactions such as headaches, nausea and even body hives. It is therefore important to at least cut well above any mould that has formed when harvesting your wheatgrass. I would also recommend emptying and sterilising your trays after harvesting to discourage any related mould growth.

Can I repeatedly trim and grow the same tray of wheatgrass?

Although is is possible to regrow your wheatgrass after it's first cutting and then re-harvest the same batch it is not a recommended practice as the second harvest will not contain nearly as many nutrients as the first. This is because a great deal of wheatgrass's nutritional value comes from the seed as the seed sprouts. This nutritional content is contained within the first harvest. As well as the loss of nutritional content, re-growing the wheatgrass increases the chance / growth of mould.
