Nature's Finest Medicine - the Nutritional Power of Wheat Grass

Looking for a safe and natural way to increase your energy and improve your nutrition? Try wheat grass! Long a staple in most vegan and vegetarian diets, the little green blades are becoming popular in mainstream diets too. And it's no wonder when you consider all the health benefits of the plant.

The grass itself, usually eaten 10 - 14 days after sprouting from the wheat berries, is loaded with enzymes, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. These nutrients can help boost your immune system, give you more energy, and may make your body more efficient in its struggle to lose weight. In fact some studies suggest that just an ounce or two carries as much nutritional punch as a pound or more of fresh veggies.

How Can I Use Wheat Grass in My Diet?

You can chomp on the grass itself, chewing a big mouthful until the "cud" turns white, then discard.
Use a juicer to make a delicious shot of healthy juice.
You can enjoy the sprouts of the wheat berries on salads or sandwiches.
Find it in powdered form to sprinkle into smoothies or fruit juices.

You can find the fresh wheatgrass available at some health food stores, or buy a kit to grow your own. Either way, you're sure to benefit from this safe, natural addition to your healthy diet.
