| About Wheat Grass |
There are many different reasons why frozen wheatgrass juice makes a lot of sense. We specifically believe that it needs to be grown outdoors and here are a few benefits of great outdoor grown wheatgrass juice which has been flash frozen:
- Quality
Wheatgrass juice from outdoor grown plants develops a 6x deeper root system, grows in a slow natural timeline which is 10x longer, chlorophyll levels are 50% higher and simple sugars are non-existent.
- Health Impact
Winter wheat is a natural, winter surviving plant due to ice structuring proteins in the plant. As a result, flash freezing it does no harm to the juice. Your very best verification method is to use any of the objective measures available to see how you are doing. This includes things like glucometers, blood pressure machines, tests from your doctor, etc. Even more exciting, do live blood cell analysis. When you do before and after live blood cell analysis, you will see massive internal changes like the unclumping of red blood cells. This is a great validation for anyone who does not have other objective measures that they can use.
- Taste and Tolerability
Wheatgrass juice grown outdoors in the right region has no detectable molds. This makes the juice taste 1000% better and the juice produces none of the side-effects incorrectly characterized as "detoxification".
- Convenience without Compromise
There are 3 main groups that find their way to wheatgrass juice. Performance athletes, the middle aged with a child or two (like me) and those with a serious health crisis. In all cases, time can be very hard to find. Generally, none of these three types of households are in a position to take on the additional stress of growing their own wheatgrass.
- Immediate Availability
You can start with flash frozen juice like ours tomorrow morning as we UPS it overnight to your door. This can give you a considerable jumpstart. Very few people start growing and producing good wheatgrass right away. Even if you were to do this, you can't start using the juice for 10 days (the growing cycle of the tray growing wheatgrass).
- Frozen Is Best For Northern Locations
Reduced sunlight in the winter months makes indoor growing difficult without supplimental lights. Wheatgrass just isn't the same without natural UV.
- Frozen Is Best Solution For High Volume Drinkers And Families
Growing to add a small amount to your diet here and there is one thing. Anyone using larger amounts or a small amount for several family members will find growing to make several ounces available per day a much bigger task than expected.
So take advantage of the frozen medium. Whether you buy juice from us or grow your own, everyone can utilize freezing to help manage their juice. If you are growing indoors, you will have likely have somewhat reduced quality, taste and tolerability but perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this might be the best approach for y
What does it taste like?
Our juice has a well deserved reputation of being the best tasting wheatgrass juice you can get. The taste of the juice can be best described as:
- Neutral and unfamiliar but not unpleasant
- Mildly sweet with some similarities to green tea
- Has a mild aroma similar to a freshly mown lawn
If you have read that wheatgrass juice tastes terrible, you should know that this happens when people grow the grass indoors where mold contaminates the juice. This juice does taste terrible. Our wheatgrass is grown outdoors, is exceptional clean and you will find it enjoyable to drink.
There are a few simple principles to getting the most from your wheatgrass juice.
- Spread the use through the day (only if you are using more than 2 fl. ozs.)
- Drink the juice on an empty stomach (15 minutes before you eat)
- Use water as the mix
- Keep the temperature below 108F (this is where enzymes begin to be damaged)
- Allow for sublingual absorption (blood vessels under the tongue) by holding the juice in your mouth and feeling the taste change or consider sucking on some of the cubes
Yes, you should drink the juice within a few minutes or you risk losing vital elements.
This is done to prevent oxidation and applies equally to both the fresh squeezed and flash frozen juice. Our method of vacuum packaging and flash freezing ensures that the juice gets to you in a perfect state. Rapid consumption on your part (drinking it as it thaws) keeps oxidation from taking place and will maximize the benefits.
The practice of drinking your wheatgrass within 20 minutes of juicing and on an empty stomach was popularized by Ann Wigmore at the Hippocrates Health Institute in Boston during the 1970's for a simple reason...people using this ingestion technique were observed to do well.
If possible, simply mix the juice with room temperature water. This approach has historically produced exceptional results.
In the juice bars, you may see people chase a shot of wheatgrass juice with orange juice. This is done to mask the taste because the indoor grown wheatgrass juice tends to have high mold content which makes the juice taste terrible. Our wheatgrass juice tastes excellent and you don't need to disguise the taste.
The second reason we suggest water is that fruit juices contain high amounts of simple sugars. Negating the effects of various forms of sugar is one of the benefits of the juice. Proceed if you wish, particularly if it helps your children drink the juice.
We have always found that the blender tends to mix a lot of air into the juice. As a result, we avoid this when possible. On the other hand, your family may find blending the juice into a smoothie is so fast, easy and delicious that it seems appropriate.
So, proceed in a way that ensures that you and your family can enjoy the juice and if possible, stick to simply the juice and water.
