Wheatgrass

Wheatgrass is the leafy growth of the young wheat plant (Triticum aestivum). Although wheat has been used as a cereal crop for millennia, this part of the plant has only been consumed by humans since agricultural research into its effectiveness as a dietary supplement in the 1930s. It is packed with nutrients, including essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients and all the essential amino acids.
