Wheat Grass‘s major proponent was Anne Wigmore who founded the famous Hippocrates Institute in Boston.
When diagnosed with colon cancer and on top of that suffering a road accident, she was told she needed to have her legs amputated.
She refused and nursed herself back to health.
She remembered her grandmother saying great things about wheat grass, and it formed part of the programme she developed to bring herself back to health.
Superfoods
Wheat Grass is one of the so called superfoods, also including barley grass and spirulina.
Spirulina
The benefit of spirulina is that it’s cell walls are made out of simple carbohydrates rather than cellulose. This means that the nutrients in spirulina are released for the body almost as soon as the spirulina hits the stomach and the cell walls dissolve.
Our high quality spirulina is grown for us organically in the Far East. We searched high and low to find one which was 100% pure – no additives. This is difficult to find - but we managed it.
You can take 2 spirulina tablets 3 times a day (or double or treble this amount if you wish – this is perfectly safe).
Wheat Grass is very nutritious, high in cholorphyll, SOD (super oxide dismutase – an antioxidant), vitamins A, B complex, C, and E, as well as a wide spectrum of minerals and enzymes. The content is very much richer than the equivalent quantity of vegetables, making Wheat Grass a great supplement.
The other advantage of Wheat Grass is that it helps detox. When you start using Wheat Grass start fairly slowly – one capsules 3 times a day (or equivalent of powder). Otherwise you may feel slight nausea from the detoxing effect. After a few days you can increase the amount taken without a problem.
SHS Wheat Grass
Our nutritious Wheat Grass is grown organically in the USA. It is sown in Autumn and grown over Winter. This means that it grows very, very slowly, giving it time to build up nutrients even more than if it was spring sown. This make it doubly nutritious.
The Wheat Grass is then dried, very slowly and at a cool temperature, to preserve it’s nutritional benefits.
Our Wheat Grass Powder is powdered to a super-fine powder. This means it can be stirred into water or juice without having pieces of fibre floating on the surface.
How much Wheat Grass to use?
We recommend 1-2 capsules 3 times a day, or 1/2-1 level teaspoon of the powder in water or juice twice a day.
This should be enough to help keep you feeling great!

Hi, very useful post. Just a quick question. If I only choose 1 green superfood is wheatgrass better than barley grass?
Tom’s last blog post..What Green Tea Can Prevent – Benefits of Green Tea
Tom – I don’t believe there is any significant difference. The nutritional profiile is very similar. Just use the best auality one. Our Wheat Grass is organically grown in America and grown over Winter to get minimum growth with maximum nutrition. It is then harvested just before it shoots up in the Spring. It is processed and kept at optimal temperature to preserve its nutrition. In other words – a good product!
We used to get Barley Grass in for a customer, but just was not worth our while to stock it as Wheat Grass does the job.
You have to love wheatgrass. It has a history that speaks for itself. We have been trained as consumers to think that is it doesn’t have a big marketing campaign promoting it that it is not really worth our attention. That type of thinking is wrong and it is not in your best interest, it is all in the interest of the people spending the billions of dollars for that campaign. Just because they have all that money to spend promoting a product does not mean that it is good for you, they are making money plain and simple.
Look at wheatgrass as your new found ancient secret that has been quietly sweep under the rug. Revisit the truth and Please decide to take charge of your life today.
Stop the media brainwashing that empties your pocket everyday.
To your health!

I’ve been wheatgrassing for about a year and have been growing my own for probably about 9 months. I can’t imagine life without it! Its not hard to grow. At first it takes a little getting used to the juice but worth it.

Yes, Thanks you Anne Wigmore for being one of the pioneers of juicing wheatgrass as we know it today. I love the fact that wheatgrass detoxifies and cleanses our system (our digestive system and our blood) the way that it does. It is a natural plant performing its magic naturally and from my experiences I know first hand how valuable it is as part of a wellness program.
After thinking and pondering the whole subject isn’t it our responsibility to be in charge of our own health, the medical profession has good thing that it does but for the most part they are just prescribing drugs….
