You've seen the fluffy tufts of grass and the little shots of bright green liquid, but why juice something that looks like a section of your front lawn?

People who love their wheatgrass, love their wheatgrass - the grass is actually the very young stage of the wheat plant. There's something about the super concentrated dose of chlorophyll that's seemingly more satisfying than juice from a mere fruit or vegetable. Though there are no significant clinical studies that support the many health benefits linked to wheatgrass, the juice definitely increases your daily nutrient intake. Wheatgrass has what the body needs - amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins A, C and Bs, iron, and vitamin K - and when juiced is more easily absorbed than a supplement.
