While many people consume wheatgrass raw directly from the harvest, and some get benefits from chewing wheatgrass and taking in the juice then discarding the pulp, I enjoy wheatgrass through juicing. A handful of wheatgrass in your juicer will give you about 3-4 tablespoons of juice. I add this to juices or smoothies. By adding wheatgrass to your diet you can:

• Improve your complexion and cleanse the body
• Gain energy and strength
• Increase your metabolism
• Get the vitamins and minerals essential for optimum health
• More quickly heal various ailments and illnesses
