Wheatgrass Info
Wheatgrass Superfood
I consider myself to be
an aspiring health nut. I understand the great benefits of wheatgrass
juice and wanted to be able to enjoy it when ever I felt like it.
I also wanted to reap its benefits with the cost of less than pennies a
serving because I have a very limited budget. So when I discovered that
NOW Foods had
Organic Non-GE Wheatgrass powder I knew I had to try it.
When the wheat grass powder arrived, I immediately noticed how dark and
lush the color was. You can't get any darker green than what I had
right there in the bag.
I moved my wheatgrass from the big 5 lb bag
into 2 gallon sized zip-lock freezer bags in order to maintain the
highest level of freshness.
I didn't need to worry
about it not being "Raw" because it has been grinded and dehydrated at
very low temperatures.
The 5 lb bag of powder could easily last me
an entire year, which makes it a pretty worthwhile investment.
I mixed the recommended 1 tbsp in water and stirred it up. It tasted
better than the wheatgrass I used to get at Jamba Juice. I started
adding 2 tablespoons to my morning fruit smoothies and barely even
noticed its presence.
My kids actually like to
drink the wheatgrass in a smoothie which I found pretty remarkable. One
tablespoon of wheat grass
powder has the
nutritional equivalent of a dark green leafy vegetable salad. So now I
wont have to feel guilty for not eating enough greens.
Wheatgrass has a very
high amount of chlorophyll which is very similar to the molecules that
make up hemoglobin for our blood. This is a great blood builder, which
is very important for people who suffer from anemia.
Due to the high nutrient content contained in wheatgrass juice, it
helps tremendously with appetite control.
My body does not feel
deprived so I get hungry less often. Adding it to my fruit smoothies
keeps my blood sugar level for longer so I wont feel tempted to eat
high sugar foods a few hours later.
Wheatgrass should be a part of everyone's diet. Wheat was designed as
the "staff of life" for man and gives us the nutrients that we need to
thrive and be truly healthy.
