Wheatgrass...
nature’s healer
Wheatgrass is baby wheat, planted
on the soil and not sown.
Wheatgrass produces high
concentrations of chlorophyll,
active enzymes, vitamins and
other nutrients. Chlorophyll makes
up over 70% of the solid content of
wheatgrass juice and is the basis of
all plant life. It is often referred to as
the “blood of plant life” as it closely
resembles the molecule in human
red blood cells. Wheatgrass is not
only rich in chlorophyll; it has 100
elements needed by the body to
keep vital and nourished. If grown
in organic soil, wheatgrass absorbs
92 of the known 102 minerals from
the soil.
Dr. Ann Wigmore was a pioneer
in the use of wheatgrass juice for
detoxifying and healing the body,
mind, and spirit. The recommended
daily allowance for wheatgrass is 30
mls once or twice per day. You can
start with as little as 10–15mls per
day and gradually increase the dose.
Wheatgrass juice can temporarily
cause an upset stomach if too much
is consumed too soon.
Care and Use
Cut the grass close to the roots and
wash thoroughly to ensure no soil
or stones are present. You can get a
second yield when the grass grows
back, although the content won’t be
as rich as the original grass. Feed the
wheatgrass tips first into the Axis.
Four trays planted on different days
over a two week period should be
enough for 1 person. Undoubtedly,
wheatgrass has a very strong taste.
You can mix the wheatgrass shots and
here are a couple of delicious recipes.
When juicing Wheatgrass, Barley
Grass or Alfalfa Juice, place a bunch
of wheatgrass (about 3cm diameter)
‘tips down’ into the feeding chute.
Feed carrots and other desired
fruits or vegetables into the chute
for a milder tasting combination
for those who haven’t tried pure
wheatgrass juice before.
