Wheatgrass – Revealed
You have probably overheard people discussing wheatgrass capsules at some point over the last few years. Maybe you’ve overheard discussions at work or family member already utilising some of the many various varieties of wheat grass but if you’re like most people, you might still not understand wheat grass or the true healing power wheat grass contains.
Wheatgrass is simply the blades of grass from wheatgrain. When the grain is planted it develops shoots within a few days. A few days after this these shoots grow into blades of dense green grass. After as little as 8-10 days the wheatgrass can be ripe for processing, Its woth noting at this stage that although the wheatgrass already posseses large levels of vitamins it hasn’t had the required time to develop complex carbohydrates which are often found in over-wintered wheatgrass.
Once the wheatgrass is ready to be processed it is usually processed into many forms, which usually include wheatgrass powder (Usually made by drying and crushing the wheat grass blades into an extremely fine powder) wheatgrass capsules (simply the powdered wheatgrass capsulated for easy digestion) wheatgrass tablets (again usually the powder cold pressed into tablet form) and wheat grass juice. (The wheatgrass blades are put through a specialist wheat grass juicer which grinds the liquid out of the wheat grass without destroying vital nutrients.)
Most forms of wheat grass harness a wealth of health boosting properties, with a wide range of minerals, vitamins, enzymes and amino acids. Wheat grass also contains over 70% chlorophyll, which is very similar to blood due to its DNA structure. This means our bodies can absorbs the nutrients in wheatgrass extemely easily.
