What Makes Wheatgrass Such A Super Food?

by Paul Payne on September 5, 2009

There’s no denying that Wheatgrass is one of healthiest things known to man.  Since I have been taking Wheatgrass, I personally have found that my energy levels are much higher, my skin is good and I can’t remember the last cough or cold got.

Key facts about Wheatgrass:

  • The nutritional value of 1 kilo of green leafed vegetables is the same as just 30ml of juiced Wheatgrass.
  • There are over 90 minerals to be found in Wheatgrass
  • Wheatgrass contains amazing enzymes: Amylase (helps digestion), Transhydrogenase (great for the heart muscle), Protease (helps with protein digestion),  Superoxide Dismutase (this can be found in all of your body cells and is known for lessening the effect of radiation and for slowing the ageing of cells), Cytochrome Oxidase (a strong anti oxidant), Lipase (a enzyme that breaks down fat)
  • 50 grams of Spinach has the same nutritional value as one teaspoon of wheatgrass powder.
  • More Vitamin C than Oranges
  • Wheatgrass has more than double the amount of Vitamin A carrots
  • The juice from Wheatgrass helps to produce red blood cells and this helps to carry oxegen around your body.  More oxegen means you can endure more physical exorcise.
