Hello
Well I hear alot of people talking about wheatgrass and juicing it as its meant to have lots of health benefits. I know you can buy wheatgrass powder and not sure of it?
Am just thinking what about other green juices like celery, broccoli (would be cheaper) would they be as good as wheatgrass?

Well wheatgrass is in effect baby wheat, so not sure how much baby celery or brocs we could get, and so wheatgrass is more concentrated with life force and of course mass produced and fast growing etc etc..

Thank you Cascara. I might get the seeds etc and start growing it myself, looking forward to a shot of it every morning! 🙂
What does it taste like? Is it bitter?
Its not too bad Amy, I had sampled a shot of it and actually liked it! Seems to be very good for us.

We have chickens so buy wheat by the sack lol and some always drops down and starts to seed, the chickens love it 🙂 it seems very easy to grow.
Compared to milk, broccoli has almost as much calcium and is higher in protein.
Actually, broccoli has 2.8 grams of protein per 100 grams, whereas milk has 3.4 grams.
My understanding of the benefits of wheatgrass are to do with its chlorophyll content (i.e. not about protein).
I don't think any of the studies have shown any health benefits peculiar to wheatgrass. From what I've read, any green vegetable should do. (It's easy enough to grow broccoli to the seedling stage and then juice it, if it's the youth of the plant that you value.)

Yes Crowan...that appears to be the case! (Could never get my brain into gear with drinking the stuff anyway!) 😉
