The CDC says that nine out of ten Americans do not eat enough vegetables. When grown naturally outdoors in cold weather, wheatgrass is a very nutrient-dense leafy green super food. That makes it an an economical and convenient way to increase dark green vegetable nutrition in the diet.
Tablets and capsules of green super foods are convenient, while powders are great in smoothies and recipes. The greener the super food, the more nutrition it contains.
Unfortunately, in order to maximize profits, some companies package their greens in cheap plastic tubs or paper packets. That results in a loss of color and nutrition due to oxidation.
Since we introduced Pines Wheat Grass more than 40 years ago, we have always packaged our products in amber glass bottles with special metal caps. The caps contain tight seals that allow us to remove the oxygen. Removing oxygen prevents nutrient loss through oxidation. Our products also stay fresher between uses because of the seals in the metal caps.
We are proud of our products. That's why we use oxygen-free bottles with the special caps. That safeguard is not possible when green food products are packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets.

As is natural to wheatgrass, these plants have been growing for six months in cold weather and are still not as tall as the extremely unnaturally-grown stuff grown quickly in too-warm, too-crowded conditions that people drink as #wheatgrassshots.
It was real #wholefood #wheatgrasspowder grown like the picture that was used by doctors and hospitals for the phenomenal research that inspired #AnnWigmore and other authors.
The #wheatgrass in the picture has been growing slowly in cold weather for six months, which is natural. Obviously, it is not being grown quickly in too-warm and too-crowded conditions in a tray.
It also does not contain the high mold and bacteria levels that occur when wheatgrass is crowded 300 times too close and roots are prevented from going down a foot deep in rich soil as they should.
In another week, the dehydrated powder from the plants in this picture will contain four times more nutrition than a #wheatgrassshot and will cost a small fraction of what is being charged for them.

During the past 40 years, thousands of people have increased their dark green, leafy #vegetables with #PinesWheatGrass, #MightyGreens, #GreenDuo and our other nutrient-dense sources of #vegetable nutrition.

The wheatgrass at the market begs to be petted. I have to tell it "no"- the other shoppers might find that a bit unsavory. It settles for being photographed.
Day 343 of Project 365.

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.

Here is what they said:
"Are you one that’s nauseated by the smell and aftertaste of wheatgrass but long to get all those wonderful health benefits? If so, we have the thing for you and you’re gonna love us even more now!!! :)
.
"Wheatgrass Tablets!!!
.
"Now you can simply pop them into your mouth and voila… you’ve gotten the best nutrition you can get, without the gag reflex and without the worry of it being grown properly under the right conditions.
.
"PINES Wheat Grass Tablets are an incredibly convenient, surprisingly economical way to make sure you (and your kids) eat green vegetables every day! Get some today at Live Green!"
The reason #PinesWheatGrass tastes so good is because it is grown under natural conditions, through often-freezing temperatures, outdoors in rich glacial soil, where the roots can go down deep instead of being a moldy mess in the bottom of a tray.
The stuff grown in trays has seeds 300 times closer than is natural, and those poor spindly leaves are cruelly forced to grow seven times faster than is natural in extremely crowded unnatural conditions.. Tray grass is loaded with bacteria and mold. Combined with being forced to grow so unnaturally, it is no wonder it tastes bad. Nature's pay back!
Pines harvests at the once-a-year time when REAL #wheatgrass reaches its peak, it is still shorter than the unnatural kind but is much darker green and the leaves are healthy looking, thick, juicy, flavorful and without the mold and high bacteria levels of that grown unnaturally in trays.

Nowadays, instead of growing wheatgrass naturally, some people plant the seeds 300 times closer than normal and grow the plants indoors in trays at temperatures four times higher than normal. The juice is extracted for a "#WheatgrassShot." The results of such crowded conditions and far-too-rapid growth are spindly leaves in the picture that are quite pale by comparison to the real wheatgrass below it. It also causes the roots to tangle in the bottom of the tray. As a result of this contamination, unnatural wheatgrass juice has high levels of mold and bacteria.
Real wheatgrass grows slowly outdoors in cold weather. The roots grow more than a foot deep in rich glacial soil. More than 80 years of testimonials and a long history of extensive research using whole food wheatgrass powder from plants grown naturally shows that powder from real #wheatgrass is very beneficial. The medical history was with naturally-grown, whole food wheatgrass powder and tablets, not with juice from plants grown unnaturally in a tray.
The popularity of "wheatgrass shots" is on a steady decline as a result of increased recognition of prebiotics. To be #prebiotic, vegetables must still contain their natural fiber. Prebiotic food supports the growth of probiotic bacteria. Without fiber, #probiotic bacteria do not have the environment they need. Probiotic bacteria are the "friendly bacteria" that are important for proper digestion and assimilation.
The importance of consuming prebiotic foods has led to popularity of whole food #smoothies rather than extracted #juice. That's why it makes sense to increase #nutrition and #fiber in smoothies by adding a scoop of nutrient-dense, #wholefood #greensuperfood powder from Pines to your blender.
