Wheatgrass Juice versus Dehydrated Wheatgrass |
| |
Wheatgrass juice, also referred to as "tray-grown" wheatgrass, is grown quickly for ten days under artificial conditions and contains far less nutritional content than naturally grown wheatgrass.
There is no substitute for the 200 days of sunlight our naturally grown wheatgrass receives. Our once-per-year harvesting is completed at the pre-jointing stage when the plant is at its nutritional peak.
Fresh wheatgrass juice is 95% water and only 5% nutrition. The reputed advantage of wheatgrass juice deals with enzyme activity. However, a.m.Organics' wheatgrass is dehydrated at low temperatures to preserve as many enzymes as possible. The question then becomes, how many enzymes does your body need? Most experts think that your body manufactures all the enzymes it needs, and additional enzymes unneeded by the body are discarded as wasted.
a.m.Organics wheatgrass powder can be added to any liquid and is much better value than wheatgrass juice. Shop All Wheatgrass Products - Special Offers NOW
