You have probably listened to colleagues talking about Wheatgrass at some point over the last few years. Whether you’ve overheard discussions at work or family member already utilising some of the many various forms of wheat grass but if you’re like most people, you may still not understand wheat grass or the natural healing power wheat grass possesses.

Wheat grass is basically the blades of grass grown from wheatgrain. When the wheatgrain is soaked and planted it begins to develop shoots within a few days. A few days after this the shoots develop into blades of juicy green grass. After as little as 8-10 days the wheatgrass can be ready for processing, Its woth noting at this stage that whilst the wheatgrass already posseses high levels of vitamins it hasn’t had the time required to process complex carbohydrates which are often found in over-wintered wheatgrass.

As soon as the wheatgrass has been processed it is usually turned into many forms, which can include wheatgrass powder (Often made by drying and grinding the wheat grass blades into a fine powder) wheatgrass capsules (simply the powder capsulated for easy digestion) wheatgrass tablets (again typically the powder cold pressed into tablet form) and wheatgrass juice. (The wheat grass blades are juiced in a specialist wheat grass juicer which crushes the juice out of the wheat grass without destroying vital nutrients.)

Most forms of wheat grass harness an abundance of health boosting attributes, with a large range of minerals, vitamins, enzymes and amino acids. Wheat grass also contains more than 70% chlorophyll, which is extremely similar to blood due to its DNA structure. This means our bodies can absorbs the nutritional content in wheat grass extemely easily.

Wheat grass has been used for decades but it has only recently arrived in the UK and it can now be found online and at most juice bars. It has been in use for a lot of medical conditions and can be used topically for external skin complaints like eczema and acne. When taken internally it can even help purify the blood stream replenishing it with vital nutrients which are needed for optimum health.
