Wheatgrass Juicing Recipes

Wheatgrass has really come on strong to the juicer community and has been labelled as a “superfood” when it comes to juicing, but for good reason.  Wheatgrass juicing recipes have wonderful restorative properties.

First of all, why the craze over wheatgrass?  What about other types of grass?  Is it possible to save money by just going to the park and eating the grass like a cow, instead of juicing wheatgrass?  As silly as it sounds, it is a legitimate question…and the answer is no.  Humans are not capable of digesting grass directly.  Our stomachs don’t have the ability to digest the cellulose.  Cows have 4 stomachs that can fully digest grass for all its nutrients.

But why wheatgrass? Wheatgrass refers to a young grass, which livestock owners feed to their animals because it improves the animals’ health moreso than adult grass.  All grasses begin as a grain, and as you could guess, wheatgrass gets its name from the fact it grows from wheat grain.  It was Dr. Ann Wigmore that made wheatgrass juicing famous a few decades ago, as wheatgrass juicing showed to improve her patients with incurable ailments.

Wheatgrass juice has a very high chlorophyll content that is great for cleansing the blood.  It also rids the liver and intestines of toxins that build up in those areas, though be careful of drinking too much juice, which could release too many toxins.  Wheatgrass contains many other nutrients and is great for boosting your energy.

You can get wheatgrass juice by either buying wheatgrass and juicing it, growing your own wheatgrass, or getting it at any juice bar.  Besides wheatgrass juicing, you can also buy it in powdered form at health food stores to store it easier.  Whichever form you choose, it is important to slowly work wheatgrass into your juicing diet.  It is very potent and can cause a lot of discomfort for those not used to it.  Use 2 ounces of wheatgrass juice AT MOST until you are sure you can handle it.  How much grass is 2 ounces?  Its a little hard to explain – you’ll just have to keep adding grass to the juicer until you get the required amount.  It will take some practice.

To get the most out of wheatgrass, you should use an auger juicer or a dedicated wheatgrass juicer.  A centrifugal juicer will not be able to extract as much juice out.
