You have probably listened to someone chatting about Wheatgrass at some point over the last few years. Whether it is in a juice bar or from a friend or family member already taking some of the numerous types of wheat grass but if you’re like the majority of people, you might still not understand wheat grass or the natural healing power wheatgrass contains.

Wheat grass is simply the blades of grass from wheat grain. When the grain is planted it develops shoots within a few days. A few days later these shoots develop into blades of dense green grass. In as little as 8-10 days the wheat grass is ready for processing, Its woth noting at this stage that whilst the wheat grass already contains large levels of nutrients it hasn’t had the required time to process complex carbohydrates often found in wheatgrass grown over winter.

Once the wheatgrass is ready to be harvested it is usually turned into numerous forms, which usually include wheat grass powder (Mainly made by drying and grinding the wheatgrass blades into an extremely fine powder) wheatgrass capsules (simply the powder capsulated for ease of consumption) wheat grass tablets (again typically the powder cold pressed into tablet form) and wheatgrass juice.
