Wheatgrass juice is produced from wheat.  The healing properties of this strain of wheat have been recognized for thousands of years and used all over the world.  In our hectic modern day life, wheatgrass was forgotten until Ann Wigmore reintroduced it to health seekers approximately 40 years ago.

Wheat begins it's life as seed, sprouts into a grass, matures slowly as it stores a burst of growth energy and then shoots into the familiar wheat stalk loaded with grain.  Our job is to harvest the wheat during it's grassy stage when it is loaded with living energy.

Once this grass has been cut, squeezing the tender young blades of the wheat plant produces a rich, dark green liquid called wheatgrass juice.  Watery fruits & vegetables are relatively easy to juice.  In contrast, juice yields from wheatgrass are low making the process very labour intensive.

Wheatgrass juice is considered a natural cleanser, accomplishing it's task with natural source vitamins, minerals and enzymes.

Note that wheat and wheatgrass are different foods.  Fully mature wheat is classified a grain, while young wheatgrass is classified as a vegetable.  Most people with allergies to wheat / gluten have no allergies whatsoever to wheatgrass or wheatgrass juice.  Please check with your physician if you are concerned about potential wheat allergies.
