By Nick Mutt
 
 
Wheatgrass has several health benefits. It is young wheat plant of 1 to 2 weeks of age and is widely used as health supplements. It is highly rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, protein and chlorophyll. It contains almost every amino acid, vitamin and mineral necessary for human nutrition that makes it a complete food for us. The high chlorophyll content make it acts as a magnet in drawing out toxins from the body.
 
 

Now doctors recommend eating green leafy vegetables. Wheat grass is an ultimate way to increase dark green leafy vegetables in our diet. Its just surprising to know that just 15 pounds of wheat grass is equivalent to 350 pounds of vegetables. A 16x16 tray of wheatgrass yields about 15 to 22 ounces of juice, depending on its length.

 
 

Wheatgrass is available in market in various forms like wheat grass juice, tablets and powders. When wheatgrass reaches a height of 12 to 20cm it can be cut and then juiced. Wheatgrass is considered as an ideal food to nourish the body and rid it of toxins. It is also very beneficial for those who suffer from pain and illness.
