Wheatgrass

Wheat grass can be traced back in history over 5000 years, to ancient Egypt and perhaps even early Mesopotamian civilizations. It is purported that ancient Egyptians found sacred the young leafy blades of wheat and prized them for their positive affect on their health and vitality. In 1930 Charles Schnabel, a food scientist from Kansas experimented with a mixture of food that would increase chicken health and egg production in the winter months. After trying various mixtures of vegetables, grains etc in the chicken feed with none of it making a difference, he was nearly ready to give up. Noticing that hens searched out the young nutritious cereal grasses when available, he dehydrated wheat grass and oat grass and included it in their feed. He was amazed to find the cereal grass mixture boosted their health significantly. He stated in his research, “Even a child can see the bloom of health in the grass-fed hens.”

Properties/Uses - Wheat grass is believed to have many unexplained natural healing qualities. Many of the phytonutrients (plant nutrients) contained in cereal grasses have yet to be identified and it is not completely known how they provide such great benefits to our health. We do know that cereal grasses contain large amounts of chlorophyll, which is amazingly similar to hemoglobin, the molecule that carries oxygen in the blood. Chlorophyll is soluble in fat particles, and since fat particles are absorbed directly in to the blood via the lymphatic system, there is evidence that chlorophyll can also be absorbed easily in this way. This explains why chlorophyll is so readily assimilated into our blood stream and our bodies are able to utilize its powerful properties. With the addition of Chlorophyll into our diet, we are consuming the very essence of life’s energy.
