There have been many wild claims about wheatgrass: one 30ml shot of wheatgrass contains as many nutrients as 1kg of green vegetables; it contains vitamins and minerals not found in other vegetables; it reduces the risk of cancer and other life threatening illnesses...
The question is, what is fact and what is fiction? And what exactly is wheatgrass?
Wheatgrass is the young grass stage of the wheat plant. It looks like grass, smells like grass and is made up of 70% chlorophyll, the building blocks of all plant life. A myriad of live enzymes, vitamins, minerals and amino acids are contained within its grassy stalks. It also comprises 12 different amino acids and good levels of vitamins A (good for eye sight), B (linked to improved immune system function, healthier skin and reduced risk of anemia and pancreatic cancer) and E (protects cell membranes and helps to keep heart and lungs healthy).
Most people report a marked improvement in their health after consuming wheatgrass, though for those consumers who have a particularly poor diet there may be a little nausea the first time it is taken. However once this clears, you should be bursting with energy and the nausea should not repeat itself the next time wheatgrass is consumed.
A single shot (30ml) each day is usually enough to improve general health and well being (in combination with a reasonably healthy diet). However for those who are looking for a dramatic improvement or for athletes who put higher demands on their body 60ml per day is recommended.
The best way to consume your wheatgrass is as a fresh juice. This is much more beneficial than taking a wheatgrass powder or supplement as wheatgrass is live and loses nutrients when treated or pasteurised. To juice at home, a manual wheatgrass juicer or a single gear juicer is recommended.
A manual wheatgrass juicer will complete the task, but does require a little extra elbow grease, as they can be a little stiff and extracting your juice can be hard work. The benefit of these is the price, as one can be bought for as little as $30. The more expensive option is a single gear juicer (from around $120) but these require no effort and can juice nearly anything. In fact, these nifty devices can usually perform many other kitchen functions, such as mincing, chopping and pureeing, so can be seen as an investment for your kitchen and a time saving device.
So, what is the truth about wheatgrass? Well, it's not a wonder-drug or a one stop fix to cure all your health problems, but it certainly does have many benefits and combined with a healthy and active lifestyle, you should be bursting with energy.
