It is endowed with 17 amino acids, B-vitamins, vitamins A, C, E, and K, chlorophyll, enzymes, phytonutrients, and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and iron. The health benefits of consuming wheatgrass include eliminating toxins from your body attributed to chlorophyll, which also supports your liver function. The enzymes in wheatgrass support the digestive function by helping in the breakdown and absorption of nutrients. It is also a great metabolism booster which is important for people trying to lose weight. Additionally, wheatgrass helps boost your immunity and reduce bad cholesterol levels, therein supporting cardiovascular function.

Ingredients

300g fresh wheatgrass, thoroughly rinsed
1 cup water

Instructions

1)
Cut wheatgrass as close to the root as possible, rinse thoroughly and discard any yellow leaf.

Using a Juicer

1)
Put small portions of wheatgrass (around one handful) through the juicer. The juicer might get jammed with wheatgrass pulp, so remove the pulp manually at regular intervals and then continue till you get all the juice out of the wheatgrass.

Using a Blender

1)
Add wheatgrass and water in a blending jar and blend till you get a smooth liquid. It is important to break down the wheatgrass completely to extract all juices from it.
2)
Pass the liquid through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer and squeeze out all the juice from the pulp.
3)
Serve right away!
