“Wheatgrass refers to the young grass of the common wheat plant, Triticum aestivum, that is freshly juiced or dried into powder for animal and human consumption. Both provide chlorophyll, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. Claims about wheatgrass’ health benefits range from providing supplemental nutrition to having unique curative properties.”1
The photograph above is of a shot of freshly squeezed veganically grown wheatgrass juice available from OrganicLives Enterprises (1829 Quebec Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada). The fresh wheatgrass is provided by Salt Spring Island Wheatgrass.
