Real Wheatgrass Ready for Harvest in Spring

Here is one of our wheatgrass fields today, just before harvest. This stage of growth lasts only a few days, once a year, in the early spring. For more than 80 years, people have used this kind of wheatgrass as a way to increase the green vegetables in their diet. The USDA says we should be eating more vegetables than any other kind of food. #PinesWheatGrass, #MightyGreens and #GreenDuo are convenient and economical ways to do that.

 

Some people mistakenly believe #wheatgrass is supposed to grow unnaturally in trays for #wheatgrassshots. The wheatgrass used in the research that inspired Ann Wigmore was not that. It also was not juice. It was real whole food wheatgrass powder that was grown slowly over the winter in often-freezing temperatures and then harvested in the early spring.

 

Real winter wheatgrass is planted in the fall with seeds about one inch apart when the air is chilly and the soil is still warm. That induces the plants to grow as nature intends. After 30 days, only about one inch of leaf is above ground but with roots a foot deep in rich glacial soil.

 

This field is one used by the scientists. Pines also still uses one of their laboratories. We are the only 100% organic whole food wheatgrass powder producer in Kansas. All others practice dual farming. Pines uses clean, modern, computerized facilities to produce 100% #CertifiedOrganic, #NonGMOProject Verified, #vegan-friendly, #Kosher, #glutenfree human food.

 

Pines is the original #greensuperfood company. We predate all other natural food companies. We never package in plastic tubs or paper packets. All our products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps. That allows us to remove the oxygen and prevent loss of nutrition that occurs with plastic containers and packets.

 

Pines is also the only Kansas company established for the purpose of expanding organic agriculture, #sustainable living, #environmental responsibility and #feeding the hungry. Our profits go toward those purposes.
