Wheatgrass - Revealed
You have probably listened to people discussing wheat grass powder at some point at some point in the last few years. Whether you’ve overheard discussions at work or family member already utilising one of the many various forms of wheat grass but if you are like a lot of people, you may still misunderstand wheatgrass or the true healing power wheat grass possesses.
wheatgrass powder is simply the young blades of grass grown from wheatgrain. When the grain is soaked and planted it begins to develop shoots within 2-3 days. A few days later the shoots develop into blades of lush green grass. After as little as 8-10 days the wheatgrass is ready for harvesting, Its woth noting at this stage that whilst the wheat grass already posseses high levels of minerals 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 can include wheatgrass powder (Mainly made by drying and grinding the wheatgrass blades into a very fine powder) wheatgrass capsules (simply the powdered wheatgrass filled into capsules for easy digestion) wheat grass tablets (again often the powder cold pressed into tablet form) and wheatgrass juice. (The wheatgrass leaves are juiced in a specialist wheat grass juicer which grinds the juice from the wheatgrass without destroying vital nutrients.)
Most forms of wheatgrass are packed with an abundance of health boosting properties, with a large range of vitamins enzymes, minerals and amino acids. Wheat grass also contains an impressive 70% chlorophyll, which is extremely similar to blood due to its DNA structure. This means our bodies can utilise the nutritional content in wheatgrass extemely easily.
wheatgrass capsules has been around for a long time but it has only recently arrived in the united kingdom and it can now be found online and at your local juice bars. It has been in use for a lot of medical conditions and can be used on the skin for external skin problems such as eczema and acne. Taken internally it can help cleanse the blood stream replenishing it with essential nutrients which are required for optimum health.
