Any recommendations for wheat grass??
Posted Monday, January 17, 2011 at 11:25 PM

Is any one here into wheat grass? I know a lot of nutrarians,raw foodists are big time on wheat grass. I also tried the wheat grass powder from Amazing Grass that you get in Whole Foods. But I came across some reviews where they talked about commercially available wheat grass containing maca root powder which is not good for your body as it may cause hormonal imbalances. Also I read that growing your own wheat grass isn't advisable as it may grow moulds etc which you may not be able to detect. I really wouldn't have the time to grow wheat grass and since I do not have much knowledge about gardening, I may not be the most efficient person in detecting moulds. I would very much like a recommendation for a wheat grass powder that I can add it to my smoothies. So any suggestions?


Thank you!!!

You just have to read the wheatgrass ingredients. If there's maca in it, they have to list it since maca is a supplement. I personally use Garden of Life's Perfect Food Raw powder which has wheatgrass as well as a bunch of other things in it. I add it to smoothies.

I was using Green Vibrance which has all kinds of grasses, including wheat, alfalfa, barley, oat. Plus Probiotics and all kinds of wonderful things. I had gotten out of the habit of using it everyday. Thanks for posting this I think I'm going to give it another 30 day try. See what happens.

Honesty, I despise the stuff. I know it's supposed to be very good for you, but I am not a lover of wheat grass. I was dragged to a raw food retreat a few months back with my mom (who is really into it but doesn't do it on a regular basis) and dad and one of the things they tried to force everyone to do was to drink a shot of wheat grass straight up (not in smoothies...) twice a day. My parents have actually been doing this for a year on their own so it was no problem for them. I walked into the room where they set up the wheat grass the first day and just the smell of it made me ill. I got looks from the staff there because I refused to drink it.

So I guess if my experience with wheat grass had been trying it on my own, it would have been much better. But the attitude of the staff and their trying to force me to drink it and the nauseating smell (for me) made it a bad experience.
