What is Wheatgrass

"There seems to be no reason why grasses, suitably prepared, should not be consumed by man with great benefit from the standpoint of general health and especially the prevention of degenerative disease." Charles Schnabel

Wheatgrass is the first stage of the same plant that eventually grows into the grain we use in bread and baked goods. Since it is a vegetable and not a grain, it doesn't contain gluten. This means it is a safe food, even for those with wheat allergies.

Popularized in the 1970's by Dr. Ann Wigmore, tray-grown wheatgrass juice has become a familiar product in juice bars, natural food stores, and the homes of do-it-yourself juicers worldwide. The juice has been associated with many health benefits; however, many who purchase fresh wheatgrass juice don't realize that it has not reached its full nutritional potential.

Wheatgrass grown outdoors in its natural climate has much higher levels of vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll than tray grown grass due to vast differences in the growth process. Evergreen Wheatgrass Juices Inc., has produced what we believe to be premium wheatgrass juice.
