What Is Wheat Grass?

Wheatgrass is the young grass of the wheat plant, Triticum aestivum. It grows in temperate regions throughout Europe and the United States and can live indoors or outdoors. Many people grow their own wheatgrass by putting wheat seeds in water and then harvesting the leaves.

Wheatgrass is a natural source of vitamins and antioxidants, including:

• Vitamins A, E, and B-12
• Calcium
• Selenium
• Magnesium
• Iron

One ounce of wheatgrass juice is equivalent to the vitamin and mineral content of one ounce of fresh vegetables.

How Is It Used?

Most people don't eat the wheatgrass itself, because it's tough to digest. In this Wheat Grass Now Foods supplement, the wheat grass is included as powder. You can mix it with water or juice and use it as an enema to cleanse the digestive system.

Where do people use it for?

People use wheatgrass to combat a number of everyday health conditions, including colds, coughs, fevers, digestive ailments, and skin conditions. Wheatgrass has also been used to prevent and treat more serious conditions, from cancer to AIDS. Some people even claim that a wheatgrass diet can shrink cancerous tumors and improve survival.

Many people who swear by it say that the potent ingredient in wheatgrass is chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green color. They claim chlorophyll acts like hemoglobin (the protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen) and increases oxygen levels in the body.

As a whole food, mix 1 TBSP in 8-12 oz of water, fruit or vegetable juice. This amount provides the nutritional equivalent of a dark green leafy vegetable salad.
