The grain occurs naturally in Europe and North America, and is also sprouted from seed. Despite its name, wheatgrass does not contain the gluten protein responsible for triggering the inflammatory response seen in celiac disease and similar conditions. In another contrast with other grains, wheatgrass is a SUPER FOOD, containing a significant amount of protein, as well as fiber, minerals and vitamins A, B6, C, E and K. Wheatgrass consists of 70% chlorophyll and its chemical composition closely resembles hemoglobin. The chlorophyll is good for purifying the blood, cleansing the liver, improving blood sugar, and purifying the body of accumulated toxins. Wheatgrass helps remove toxic heavy metals (lead, mercury, aluminum) that have become stored in the tissues. A wheatgrass supplement is an important part of the detox process. The hundreds of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids in this superfood help eliminate any toxins in your body and help clear your mind so you can be more productive and emotionally balanced. Wheatgrass contains enzymes that help your body to break down food and absorb nutrients, which may aid in good digestion. A glass of wheatgrass juice can spice up your sex life as it increases sex drive and increases vitality. It provides you with needed energy which boosts the blood flow to your sexual organs that improves your stamina. It also promotes the production of reproductive hormones. Consuming wheatgrass on a regular basis has even been shown to reverse gray hair back to its natural color. Wheatgrass contains magnesium, iron, enzymes, and amino acids that detoxify the system, improve circulation, and leave you feeling and looking younger and more vibrant.

It has been claimed that ancient Egyptians found the young leafy blades of wheat sacred. Triticum aestivum is known only under cultivation— its native origin has been lost. Wheat evolved from wild grasses, most likely somewhere in the Near East. Wheatgrass is a food prepared from the cotyledons (first appearing leaves from a germinating seed) of the common wheat plant, Triticum aestivum in the Poaceae family). Triticum aestivum is an annual grass. Its simple culms grow erect, are hollow or pithy, glabrous, and can reach heights of up to 1.2 meters. The leaves are narrow and flat, around 20–38 cm long and about 1.3 cm broad. These spikes are long, slender, dorsally compressed, and somewhat flattened. The tough rachis does not separate from spikelet at maturity; and these nearly erect spikelets are 2–5-flowered, relatively far apart on the stem, slightly overlapping, and pressed close to the rachis. Glumes keeled in upper half, glabrous, firm, and shorter than the lemmas; lemmas are awned or awnless, and less than 1.3 cm long. The palea is as long as the lemma, remaining entire at maturity; caryopsis free-threshing, soft or hard, red or white. Wheatgrass grows best in mild-to-warm temperatures that are 60 to 75°F (15.6-21.1 °C). Though they will tolerate lower temperatures when the leaves reach about ¼ to ½ inch (0.64 to 1.27 cm) high. Prefers moist (though not water-logged) conditions and indirect sunlight. For growing wheatgrass, use a basic potting mix or top soil that has about ⅓ peat moss incorporated. Wheatgrass can be grown indoors or out via seed. For sprout production, wheatgrass is commonly planted indoors on trays in a growth medium—such as a potting mix. Wheatgrass leaves are harvested when a “split” is developed during the emergence of another leaf. The leaves are then trimmed with scissors, which allows a second crop of shoots to form. A third cutting is sometimes possible, but may yield tougher leaves with less sugars than the first cutting. Wheatgrass is consumed fresh as juice, or is dried for later use. Store dried wheatgrass powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
