Wheatgrass Powder vs Fresh Wheatgrass Juice

by Marc
(Royersford, PA)

We currently buy flats of wheatgrass at our local Whole Foods store. We harvest and juice the wheatgrass ourselves because we believe that is the most nutritious way to get all of the benefits from the wheatgrass. It can also be very time consuming.

Do you recommend a wheatgrass powder or alternate to harvesting and juicing?

Are the benefits to the wheatgrass powder the same as us juicing fresh wheatgrass?

Thanks in advance,

Marc

Yes, I suppose I wish I could have fresh squeezed wheatgrass juice available for me whenever I want it, with no work required on my end. Unfortunately, that is not the case. To obtain freshly squeezed wheatgrass you will need to do one of the following:

1. Grow wheatgrass and juice it at home
2. Buy wheatgrass tray at store and juice wheatgrass at home
3. Buy shot of wheatgrass at juice bar
4. Order a wheatgrass tray to be delivered to your home, and then juice it at home (You can do a search to find a good tray of wheatgrass supplier in your area.)

Each option to obtain your freshly squeezed wheatgrass juice has advantages and disadvantages. My favorite way to obtain wheatgrass juice is to grow it at home and juice it there.

Perhaps there is a wheatgrass juice bar in your area. You would no longer have to buy your flats of wheatgrass if you can find a wheatgrass juice bar in your locale. The downfall would be the higher cost, time, and gas needed to go purchase the wheatgrass shot at the juice bar.

You know, one nice thing about growing wheatgrass at home, is that you don't need to drive anywhere to get it. It is right in your own kitchen, or wherever you are growing the wheatgrass at home. Plus it is absolutely the most affordable way to go.

I love it when guests come over and ask for a shot of wheatgrass because they see it growing on my counter. How great to share the true gift of wheatgrass juice with my friends! I'll even have my family members, or myself, hand deliver it to my neighbors as a gift. I just juice some up, and place the wheatgrass juice in a tiny Dixie cup. My neighbors love it and how fun is that?



Properly grown and then produced wheatgrass juice powder is also very nutritious and creating powerful health improvements for many people too. However, I have never personally experienced that incredible sense of aliveness, a feeling of more happiness, more mental clarity, vitality, and positive energy as I receive from regularly drinking the freshly squeezed raw wheatgrass juice.

Please remember, the great Ann Wigmore saved countless people's lives through healing her guests with nutrition where the wheatgrass juice was her mightiest healing remedy. The guests at her healing institute recovered from illness thought to be incurable, by having them primarily consume plenty of freshly squeezed, non-heated, non-processed, non-frozen, raw, wheatgrass juice along with teaching them how to incorporate more raw foods into their diet. You can learn more about Ann Wigmore here.

Again though, there are really excellent wheatgrass powders on the market, that are highly nutritious and producing dramatic health benefits for people. Wheatgrass juice powders from good and trusted companies are also changing lives for the better with their products.

Here I share another post about wheatgrass powder versus fresh wheatgrass juice.

One wheatgrass powder I really like is Sweet Wheat in the loose powdered form, that you can see on the left. You can order 30 grams of the Sweet Wheat Powder at Amazon here.

Or, if you want a larger bottle of wheatgrass powder in the loose powder form, you can order 90 grams of the Sweet Wheat powder at Amazon here.

The Sweet Wheat powder comes with a tiny little scoop. Just take a little scoop of the wheatgrass powder and mix it with your liquid of choice. Or, you can certainly eat it straight. You can take more depending on your desires and needs.

I definitely felt the potency of this excellent Sweet Wheat powder and a subtle improved energy, a little more mental clarity, and a sense of more happiness within. Plus, I remember I only had to take a little bit of their concentrated and powdered wheatgrass juice to feel this benefit.

Sweet Wheat powder contains the dehydrated wheatgrass juice only, with none of the grass fiber. The wheatgrass juice is freeze dried to best preserve the enzymes and nutrients as much as possible.

It does not take up as much bulk in the wheatgrass juice powder container, because it is straight dehydrated wheatgrass juice - with no fiber. A little goes a long way.

The powdered Sweet Wheat also has a very pleasant taste versus the more grassy flavored "hairs on your arms standing straight up" fresh wheatgrass juice taste. However, I just about always combine my freshly squeezed wheatgrass juice with another liquid, to counter that pungent flavor. There really is no unfavorable wheatgrass juice flavor that way.

Sweet Wheat also comes in the capsules, but I definitely prefer the loose powder. It is the Sweet Wheat loose powder that felt more potent to me. There just is more processing involved in getting a wheatgrass powder into a capsule. I believe in every step of processing, more nutrients and enzymes are lost. Perhaps that is why the loose powdered wheatgrass instead of the wheatgrass powder in capsule form just felt more potent to me.

However, maybe you would like the extra added convenience of the Sweet Wheat capsules they offer though. Everyone is different in their reactions to a product, and each person has different preferences. Here are 60 Sweet Wheat capsules at Amazon. And here are 180 Sweet Wheat capsules at Amazon.

Once again, nothing will compare to the affordability of growing your own wheatgrass and juicing it in the comfort of your own home. The feeling of revitalization from regularly consuming fresh squeezed wheatgrass juice is second to none.

I just love having access to fresh grown wheatgrass in my home. Most importantly, I love how it makes me feel when I regularly consume it! It truly is my pleasure to bring more awareness to this fantastic food source!

Finally, if juicing your own wheatgrass is just too much work for you right now, definitely pull in a good wheatgrass powder, from a trusted company, into your diet. Your body will really thank you.

To your health Marc!
