Wheat Grass

Some Superfoods never go out of style - Wheat Grass is one of those things everyone has heard of, has smelled, and perhaps has been revolted by at one time or another.

There is a lot more going on in this humble little sprout then even it's biggest advocates may be aware of.

Wheat Grass has a 70% chlorophyll content. Chlorophyll is the most nourishing, refreshing, and revitalizing nutrient for our blood. It is an essential part of life, keeping not only the human body alkaline, but the entire Earth in a state of perpetual refreshment. It is essentially the blood of plants, and has only a single molecule's difference from human hemoglobin.

The vitamin factor of Wheat Grass is no mystery. Rich in A, C, B's, E, and K, this has long been one of the reasonings of devout health food folk since the movement began with the long hairs back in the day.

Where we are at with the current research concerning the health benefits of Wheat Grass blows any previous information on the subject out of the water..

Minerals are the underlying foundation of all material life on Earth. The greater the abundance of minerals a food has, the more of everything else it is bound to have along with it (vitamins, antioxidants, etc). Different foods are capable of carrying a different amount of the currently discovered 92 minerals on the planet. Some are capable of 20, 30, 40, and stretching into the highest potential foods even 60 - 70. Wheat Grass is unique and amazing as it is capable of manifesting an uptake of all 92 minerals found in this lush world.

Of course, the main thing to consider when wrapping this concept around our minds is that the quality of the location of where the food is grown determines how many minerals will actually be present. Organic produce tends to have a much higher concentration of minerals, as pesticides have been shown to cause critical mineral deficiencies in soils in which they are sprayed. Therefore, whatever is in the soil, will wind up in the plant.

Since Wheat Grass is often sprouted in palates which contain little or no soil, and is usually watered from the tap, it's potential is extremely undermined at your average juice bar where you may bravely attempt shots as other's drinking their sugary yogurt beverages cheer you on.

Applying the latest agricultural technologies to the growth of Wheat Grass is what causes a simple grass to transform into a magical spiritual medicine. The premier agricultural technology to achieve this is called Sea Water Agriculture. Since all substances on Earth lead back to the ocean, it invariably contains all 92 minerals in perfect ratios. By diluting ocean water with fresh water (1 part ocean, 20 parts fresh), one can safely and effectively water their plants in a way that maximizes their mineral uptake potential. Thus 92 mineral Wheat Grass is born, and with it, an experience of reality that the average person consuming an average diet consisting of 14 - 30 minerals could never be privy too.

The next best thing to growing your own Wheat Grass with ocean water is acquiring it from sources that wild craft or organically produce their crops using rainwater. Rainwater allows for a much vaster quantity of minerals to be present than irrigation is capable of.

Wheat Grass can be purchased in powder form should you find the juice to be unbarable, and mixes well with smoothies. Caution: mixing Wheat Grass juice into your smoothies can be potentially disastrous for your taste buds.

If your local juice bar is still your preferred way to go, that's cool too. You are still miles ahead of the game, and the chlorophyll rush is something to behold on it's own.
