Wheatgrass is young wheat and is rightly called a superfood. The juice of this young wheat is the hit among health food and raw food lovers and is called 'the most concentrated liquid food'. BeBio is a fan. We take a fresh shot or a wheatgrass ice cube through our green juice every day.
Wheatgrass is full of healthy nutrients. It is an important source of vitamins including vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B3 and K, over 90 different minerals such as zinc, calcium, iron and magnesium, more than 80 enzymes, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Finally, it contains a rare amount of chlorophyll. It is said that a shot glass of wheatgrass juice is equal to one kilogram of vegetables. This way you can easily reach the recommended daily amount!
Why?
So you only need a little bit of wheatgrass to get enough vitamins and minerals. Ideal to give your body an extra boost. There are therefore many benefits of regularly drinking wheatgrass juice:
But?
The fibers of the grass are difficult for people to digest, so you can't just eat it. You can chew the blades of grass without swallowing them, or you have to juice them. You need a special slow juicer to juice wheatgrass, which separates the fibers from the healthy nutrients. Slow juicers are quite pricey.
How? Fortunately, wheatgrass is also available in powder form, tablets and even ice cubes. Then you may not have the fresh juice, but it is easy to add to other juices or smoothies. A tablespoon of powder guarantees an energetic start to the day!
Fresh juice is available in some juice bars, and through various sites (e.g. the Wheatgrass King) you can have a daily amount of fresh grass or the wheatgrass ice cubes delivered.
