How do I go out and buy fresh Wheatgrass?

Many of the larger Health Food stores across America and abroad have been selling both fresh juiced and live grown wheatgrass now for years.You can call around to Co-ops,juice bars and many other stores to find flats already grown or freshly squeezed juice or even frozen in some places. Juice bars will sell it to you ground fresh by the ounce. Health stores may have some frozen, but may also have the trays available that you can juice yourself to save some money.(you will need a special whaetgrass juicer to do this)

Where can I find it?

You may have a real problem finding wheatgrass at your local grocery store. They do not specialize in such things,however many large chain stores stock live wheatgrass. You will need a special juicer to extract the juice if you buy it it flats or you may get it already juiced from thier juice bar.You can grow it yourself as well with a wheatgrass kit.See other tips on that...

Freezing Wheatgrass.

Wheatgrass juice can lose a good deal of its enzymes while frozen, but still contains much of the vitamins,minerals and all of the chlorophyl.So if there´s simply no other way to get it or you managed to juiced too much and need a way to store it, then freeze it!

Wheatgrass dosage...

Injesting your first ounce of wheatgrass juice may or may not be a pleasant experience.Most of us living in this high tech society have accumulated a variety of toxins from our food,the environment and elsewhere that can and may effect not only the taste, but the entire feeling of the wheatgrass juice going down.Some claim it gives a warm feeling while others experience nothing at all.Still others report a slight stomachy feeling along with dizziness at first while the remaining sensitive few state rather a cleansing effect.
The bottom line here is that wheatgrass has a powerful detoxification effect on everyone that consumes it and the minute it touches the tounge it is already working feverously to pull things out of the body that don´t belong!

For this reason it is recommended to start out with a single ounce a day and build up after a week or so and see how you feel individually.Some can tolerate up to ten ounces a day, but for the average person after the initial training period 2 to 3 ounces should be sufficient per person.

Quality comes from a number of sources.

Good quality wheatgrass juice is best grown and juiced in the comfort of home much like picking vegetables from your own garden-you know where it came from!
If its frozen its simply not that fresh,if the grass has been in cold storage too long then it could be somewhat depleted in nutrients before a juice bar juices it.There´s not always a good way to determine this unless of course you grow your own.
If you should happen to see the person juicing your grass, make sure of its bright green color and that its standing up straight and does´nt look too dry.Then you may be getting your money´s worth.
