The Health Benefits of Wheatgrass
by Jennifer Good
Our healthy ingredient of the week should be very familiar to smoothie and juice lovers. Wheatgrass is young grass in the wheat family that grows in moderate climates throughout the United States and Europe. It is sold in a variety of forms from fresh grass to dietary supplements. Wheatgrass has been called one of nature's finest medicines. Its benefits are enormous. These include:
If these benefits weren't enough, it's also a good source of some vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, amino acids, chlorophyll, enzymes, phytonutrients, and vitamins A, C and E
1 – all essential for a healthy body. Its popularity makes it a very common additive to smoothies.
Wheatgrass is available in a variety of forms including tablets, capsules, liquid extracts, and tinctures. And then there's the old standby – you can buy the wheat berries, grow it yourself in trays, and then run it through a wheatgrass juicer. It's surprisingly sweet. If you have celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or are allergic to wheat or grass, you should consult your doctor before using wheatgrass.
