About Wheatgrass Juice (Spelt Grass Juice) in general

Wheat is the number one food source for mankind, and provides food, bread and cake for the greater part of humanity.

There are a lot of types to choose from according to the geographical location and prevailing weather conditions. This is one reason for its popularity. Furthermore its precious content, rich vegetable protein and vitamin level makes it very valuable to us.

This is our basic bread grain, which is already very valuable, but it does not end here.

Two early pioneers in the use of wheatgrass juice and living foods, Ann Wigmore natural healer and Viktoras Kulvinskas nutritionist (Rising Sun Christian healing movement – Boston, USA) were healing patients already decades ago – even cancer patients!

Why juice?

The wheatgrass is a plant with cellulose fiber that human cannot digest as oppose to ruminant animals. This on its own would not be a big problem as we eat a lot of other vegetables that contain this element (e.g. broccoli, sprout, cabbage). However we would have to consume a lot of wheatgrass blades to ingest the sufficient amount of active substances. This is a good reason for consuming the wheatgrass juice rather than eating the grass itself.

Wheatgrass juice is very rich in vitamins, proteins, chlorophyll and minerals that are important for cardiovascular and immune system function.

This cold pressed wheatgrass juice presents these nutrients as they have been made by NATURE  – this cannot be reproduced artificially. If we carry vitamins into our bodies in their natural form they will be utilized much differently and will operate differently.

To ensure the absorption of more minerals and vitamins intake of fresh food is recommended, with Low-level processing and as natural as possible. Unfortunately, today’s fruits and vegetables are nutrient-poor, and we can’t eat enough of most of them. Unfortunately in many cases, if we eat more we take in even more toxic compounds into our bodies – just think of the various conservation procedures or of the aging of unripe fruits with artificial chemicals and special gases, while they are on the road to store shelves, where they will be sold as fresh … It is therefore increasingly important to find other ways to get the valuable and necessary nutrients.

The wheatgrass juice provides an excellent opportunity to do so.
