The 5 Benefits of Wheatgrass

Sean Gill

We stand by the idea that wheatgrass is one of the best detoxifying foods on the planet, but we know that we are a bit bias 😜.⁣

If you had ever told me that I would enjoy the taste of wheatgrass, I would have told you, "it ain't happening." I was always taken aback by the green color and assumed it tasted like I was drinking slime, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Wheatgrass has an earthy tea taste, and beyond tasting delicious- it is incredibly nutrient-dense and cleansing. 

Taken from the young shoots of the wheat plant for which it is named, wheatgrass juice has rightly earned its status as one of nature's most influential "health-giving" superfoods.

Wheatgrass has fantastic benefits for the whole family and is full of antioxidants, including Vitamin C and E and glutathione, to help fight off free radicals in the body. Here are some of our favorites proven benefits of wheatgrass:
