:: WHEATGRASS JUICE ::



Wheatgrass Juice is the liquid extracted from the sprouts of hard red winter wheat harvested at the stage immediately prior to the appearance of the first true jointing of the plant stem as it grows from seed.

A primary ingredient in the wheatgrass juice is the chlorophyll that gives the juice its distinctively green appearance. It not only possesses chlorophyll, but, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and enzymes.

Wheatgrass is a complete protein in that it contains all amino acids.

Wheat, and or its “relatives” (means any kernel belonging to the “wheat” family) is the only seed known to have the ability to take up 90 or more minerals [during its life cycle] in its germination process - which is in effect, close to all known minerals. This means that if grown with availability of nutrients, in the proper environment, wheatgrass will be very nutrient dense due to its incredible genetic design.

Enzymes are important for every function in the body. Digestive enzymes such as amylase and protease are found in wheatgrass juice. This is desirable since the body does not have to produce these in order to perform the digestive function of “processing” the wheatgrass juice. Wheatgrass, in its raw state is abundant in enzymes. Juice that has been pasteurised (heat treated) will have lost most or all of its enzymes. Juice that has been spray dried will also have been subjected to high temperatures.

Join us on Thursday April 29th for a delicious in-store tasting of wheat grass and broccoli juices, all grown and squeezed in Wexford.
