One teaspoon of Wheatgrass powder is nutritionally equal to 50grams of spinach. Wheatgrass has more Vitamin C than oranges & twice the Vitamin A of carrots. Wheatgrass helps your body to build red blood cells which carry oxygen to every cell. Wheatgrass contains 19 amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Wheatgrass is prepared from the common wheat plant. Importantly, however, the plant is harvested at the early stages of growth before jointing occurs, after which, its nutritional value declines sharply. At this early stage Wheatgrass is abundant in Chlorophyll, which gives the plant its vibrant green colour. The Chlorophyll contained in these green foods is widely believed to have a beneficial effect on cholesterol, blood pressure, immune system response & cancer prevention. Chlorophyll inhibits harmful bacteria & its de-odorising properties have a neutralising effect on bad breath. Wheatgrass is also an excellent source of Enzymes, Minerals, B Vitamins & Antioxidants. A powerhouse of protein.
