Wheatgrass

CHEW IT, JUICE IT, GROW IT

Wheatgrass is baby wheat. Grown at home and chewed or juiced, it is a fast and highly effective way to eliminate internal waste from the body. This cleansing allows the proper absorption of nutritious foods.

The benefits of this complete food were rediscovered by Dr Ann Wigmore in 1960. It's the cream of the grass family crop, high in chlorophyll, vitamins, enzymes, protein and has no starch. The chlorophyll molecule of wheatgrass closely resembles hemoglobin found in human red blood cells.

Pollution and processed and cooked food have destroyed many of our digestive enzymes. Juiced, chewed or implanted wheatgrass juice is so rich with green chlorophyll and enzyme liquid food that the body is immediately set on the path of detoxification. It increases the elimination of hardened mucus, crystallized acids and solidified, decaying fecal matter.

Wheatgrass juice has many anti-aging properties including Vitamins A, B complex, C and E, super oxide dismutase and a full spectrum of minerals and trace elements. It benefits the blood cells, bones, glands, the kidneys, liver, muscles, spleen and teeth.

It also provides concentrated sources of selenium which helps eliminate toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic.

Most wheat allergies are due to the gluten found in the wheat berry. Wheatgrass is cut before the plant forms a grain (berry) and therefore has no gluten. It's an excellent addition to the diet of a person with allergies.

Drinking Wheatgrass

Drink only 30ml of wheatgrass juice mixed with water to begin. The high enzyme content produces an immediate reaction with toxins and mucus in the stomach, often making you feel a little nauseous. This means it's needed and should be taken regularly.

Keep going! Increase the juice to 60ml if you can or mix with indoor greens such as sprouts, celery, parsley or spinach to make it more palatable. Juicing wheatgrass and a diet of mostly fresh, raw foods will leave you feeling younger and very alive.

First find yourself a nice lush tray of organic wheatgrass.
Now with a pair of scissors cut as low as you can. The light coloured stems at the bottom of the wheatgrass are the juiciest part.
Now another option for cutting your wheatgrass is a serrated knife. Just be careful of your fingers. I find this to be the fastest way to cut a tray of wheatgrass. Remember to cut as low as you can, getting as much wheatgrass as possible.
A great way to keep wheatgrass fresh is to harvest the whole tray and to store it in a plastic bag in the fridge for up to 10 days.

To get started first adjust the pressure cap to 5 to make sure you get the most possible juice from your wheatgrass. When juicing wheatgrass we use a finger sized portion. I use the thin end of the plunger to guide the wheatgrass down the shoot.
I like to give a few seconds in between each bunch of wheatgrass to make sure I get the maximum juice yield and not to overload the juicer.

Oscar is extremely effective at juicing wheatgrass using its cold pressing action to get the most from your wheatgrass and other leafy greens.

Wheatgrass is extremely sweet with the taste like sweet peas from the garden mixed with a bit of aniseed flavour.

In this video I juiced just over a quarter of a tray wheatgrass which has given me enough for three 30ml shots of juice.

And now for the benefits of wheatgrass: wheatgrass juice has many anti-aging properties including vitamin A, B complex, C, and E, Super oxide dismutase and a full spectrum of minerals and trace elements. It benefits blood cells, bones, glands, kidney, liver, muscles, spleen and your teeth. It also provides concentrated sources of selenium which helps eliminate toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic.

Wheatgrass is completely gluten free as the wheatgrass is cut before the plant forms a grain and therefore it has no gluten.
