Wheat Grass

I love wheat grass. I grow it and snip off a bit to put in my fruit smoothies. It might sound odd to some (as it did to me at first), but it's sweet and loaded with nutrients. It's fun to grow this over the winter, as it brings a bit of summertime into the house.

 

Here's some info on wheat grass:

 

~Wheatgrass is the young wheat plant. It is 70% chlorophyll in its juice form.

 

~The high chlorophyll content of wheatgrass acts as a "magnet" in drawing out toxins from the body.

 

~Chlorophyll has been shown to produce an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth in the body and therefore effective in increasing the body's resistance to illness.

 

~Wheatgrass has more vitamin C than oranges and twice the vitamin A as carrots. It is also rich in vitamins E, K, and B-complex.

 

Here's my favorite 'Green Smoothie' recipe:

* 1 cup green grapes

* 1/2 cup fresh pineapple

* 1/2 cup wheat grass

* 1 cup ice
