Grass, it is said, is essentially meant for cows! So, logically speaking, why would anyone want to consume grass? And how does one go about ‘drinking’ grass? These were the arguments put forward by my son, who is, typically, like peers of his age, very suspicious of anything vegetarian! But this should not dissuade anyone from knowing further about the benefits of drinking wheat grass.
Wheat grass, essentially, is sprouted wheat seeds. The sprouts should be 2 to 3 inches long before they are ready for consumption. The ‘grass’ has to be cut, and then put through a special juicer. It would not be wise to attempt to eat the grass as it is, as it is very fibrous. Very often, people complain of the ‘icky’ taste of this juice, and it is recommended that if it is too harsh on the taste buds, it could be mixed with some other juice.
It is recommended that this juice should be drunk on an empty stomach and in small amounts. Sip the juice slowly. 2 to 4 ounces should be consumed every day or on alternate days. This juice known to be very beneficial and nutrition experts claim that 25 ml of wheat grass juice is equivalent to 1 kilo of fresh garden vegetables.
The benefits of Wheat grass are:
It can be seen that this is indeed a wonderful natural ingredient! People who have drunk this juice for just 3 to 4 days have reported feeling very high levels of energy and the elimination of the lethargic feeling. Notwithstanding the bland taste, drinking wheat grass regularly is indeed beneficial for health. Cheers to that!
