Wheatgrass 1 lb
Wheatgrass is a nutrient-dense superfood packed with chlorophyll, amino acids, vitamins (A, C, E, K, B-complex), and minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium. It is very low in calories, high in antioxidants that fight oxidative stress, and, despite being derived from wheat, it is gluten-free.
Available in a 1 lb bag.
Drinking wheatgrass juice daily acts as a nutritional powerhouse. It delivers a concentrated dose of vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants that help reduce inflammation, boost sustained energy levels, and promote healthy digestion.
A double-blind placebo-controlled study of 23 patients with ulcerative colitis saw a significant reduction in ulcers and the severity of rectal bleeding after consuming wheatgrass juice.
Wheatgrass juice is excellent for the skin, bed sores, IBS, and almost any internal inflammatory condition.
A study involving Beta-thalassemia, a genetic condition characterized by low hemoglobin, found that wheatgrass juice is a good fortifier for your blood. Chlorophyll closely mimics your blood, with the addition of magnesium.
Wheatgrass juice contains chlorophyll, phytonutrients, vitamin E, vitamin C, and trace minerals. Aflatoxins in peanuts, corn, soy, and grains can harm your liver. Chlorophyll can neutralize and reduce the effect of this toxin. It can also neutralize alloxan, a toxin used to induce diabetes in mice and also found in bread made with bleached flour.
The source of your wheatgrass juice is important! At Giant Gorilla Greens, we grow organic wheatgrass using high quality, organic super soil and organic fertilizer, yielding a nutritionally dense, juicy grass, for you to juice daily.
HOW TO JUICE:
- High Potency: The dense concentration of nutrients and chlorophyll can shock an unaccustomed system, leading to mild digestive distress.
- Detoxification: Wheatgrass promotes the flushing of toxins, which can sometimes result in temporary symptoms like headaches or nausea if introduced too quickly.
- Tolerance Assessment: Starting small allows you to see how your body reacts before building up to a standard serving.
- Beginner Dose: Start with just 1/2 ounce to 1 ounce (about 15 to 30 ml) a day. Slowly increase to the standard 1 to 2 ounces over a week or two as you feel comfortable.
- Best Timing: Consume it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning to maximize nutrient absorption, but wait about 30 minutes before eating or drinking coffee.
- Dilute the Taste: Pure wheatgrass has a very strong, grassy flavor. You can ease into it by mixing your shot with a splash of water, or coconut water.
- Mix into Smoothies: If a straight shot is too much, blend your initial dose into a larger fruit or vegetable smoothie to mask the earthy taste
