Wheatgrass

The health benefits of wheatgrass juice are many, as frequent drinkers will attest. You may have seen enthusiasts “taking shots” of the stuff at your local juice bar or smoothie joint.

Take a look at these facts:

• Two ounces of wheatgrass juice contains the vitamins and minerals equivalent to 3 pounds of organic vegetables, and is especially high in magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
• Wheatgrass juice is approximately 70% living chlorophyll.
• Wheatgrass juice acts as a safe agent for internal cleansing, possessing powers of detoxification more than ten times superior to carrot juice.

At Chicago’s Indoor Garden, we carefully and lovingly raise USDA Organic Certified wheatgrass on rich, worm-composted soil. Within 7-10 days these wheat sprouts grow into 6-7 inch blades of sweet juice grass. Juicing the grass, freshly cut, yields an unparalleled “green drink” which, when used in conjunction with a well-balanced high-fiber diet, can be an ideal component of your wellness program.
