Wheatgrass, what a wonderful thing. I'm sure alot of you have heard of this stuff or at least seen it. It's literally grass that you grind down into a juice. It looks like your elementary school science project, a patch of grass growing in a plastic tray. It can provide the same amount of vitamins and minerals as one weeks worth of leafy green vegetables with one ounce.
I've heard of people take it for hangovers, skin issues or for just general health. It's been marketed as tasting like sweet garden peas, but don't let it fool you. It's grass, and that's exactly what it tastes like. Now I know what old Bessie tastes while grazing in the pasture. Think a freshly mowed lawn, yum yum.
Foul flavour aside, this stuff is good for you. I try to have a shot every two weeks, especially when I haven't had enough time to get my vegetable intake for the week. You can buy it frozen from health foods stores, or fresh. I prefer the Jugo Juice shots, since it's so convenient and less messy if you're grinding it up yourself, but it is more costly. Give it a try some time, especially if you've been dining out a lot.
