Wheatgrass
As the name implies, wheatgrass is the young form of grass from the wheat plant. Normally consumed in tablet form, some people prefer to have it in juice form even though the leaves can be difficult to digest. Juicing the leaves can help them be more easily absorbed as the leaves release the nutrients from the grass. Wheatgrass isn’t for everyone, as people who are allergic to gluten, grass or wheat won’t be able to eat it. Also, pregnant women or breastfeeding women need to consult their doctors before incorporating wheatgrass into their diets. The benefits of wheatgrass are significant. It contains vitamin A, vitamin C, and more than the daily recommended amount of vitamin E. In addition wheatgrass has B vitamins, iron, and antioxidants.
