HimanshuAgarwalWheatgrass belongs to a cereal family and is grown from the seed or kernel of the regular wheat plant, also known as sprouted wheatberries. It gets harvested when its growth is at its peak, due to which extremely high amounts of vitamins, antioxidants, living enzymes and phtyonutrients can be extracted in it, which won’t otherwise survive if we wait for the plant to mature.
Given that this is a natural food product, no matter how much of it you consume, there are no side-effects. To give you a little insight in the power of this green grass blade Wheatgrass contains over 100 elements that are required by a human body. If grown organically, wheatgrass absorbs 92 out of the 115 minerals that are known to be present in soil.
While wheatgrass may not be as common a name as Aloevera, it far exceeds its benefits. It is not just an excellent source of chlorophyll but also contains Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Vitamin E, Iron, Amino Acids, Protein, Potassium, Dietary Fiber, Calcium and Magnesium, just to name a few. It controls the acid levels in the blood and thus prevents problems that arise from an overly-acidic body like hypertension, obesity, thyroid problems and cancer. Wheatgrass powder is highly beneficial forthe brain and body tissues because it is rich in oxygen.
This green superfood has multi-fold benefits, given the amount of goodness it packs in its tiny specks. It keeps you feeling satiated between your meal gaps, thus preventing junk-eating and save you from weight troubles. Due to its high chlorophyll content, it improves your energy in the day and helps you sleep better at night. Of course, it also helps regulating blood sugar levels and blood pressure. It improves your bowel movement by working on your digestion. And a fringe benefit of wheatgrass is it gives strength to your hair and nails.
It is not just good for the internal body. You can apply it on the skinto treat problems like dry eczema, itching of rectum and even for insect bites and infection. Wheatgrass yields the highest amount of light energy – chlorophyll, than any other food element. Chlorophyll, being of a similar structure as hemoglobin has amazing benefits on the blood. Due to this, wheatgrass helps to cleanse the blood from heavy metals and many other impurities.
If you are not a big fan on green veggies, just one glass of wheatgrass juice will give you the nutrition equivalent to one and a half pounds of it. And if you are worried about the taste, well it doesn’t injure the taste-buds and is almost identical to the taste of spinach. To make it taste better, just make a smoothie by adding your favorite fruit to it but stay away from sugar.
If you are concerned about how expensive is this wonder food is going to turn out to be, don’t sweat! You could easily get a 100 gm wheatgrass powder pack for less than Rs 300. It is a very small investment considering its benefits. And if you think it is still unaffordable, you can easily grow it at home!
