Healthy and convenient way to get your greens
Years ago, I had someone extol the virtues of wheatgrass to me. I was a bit skeptical, because I thought it smelled kind of funny, and I was somewhat squeamish about adding something so green to my food and drink. However, given the opportunity to try it for free, I thought I'd give it a shot.<br /><br />This Super Organics Organic Wheatgrass Powder makes it easy to get my greens. It is organic, non-GMO, vegan and packed with powerful nutrients. One serving (less than a teaspoon) of this powder contains 89% of an adult's daily recommended amount of Vitamin C, 77% Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), 42% Thiamin (B1) and significant amounts of 4 other vitamins. It's easy to digest. It doesn't taste or smell nearly as strong as I would have thought, and as long as you put it in something that is brightly colored, it doesn't make it look strange.<br /><br />I figured that, since wheatgrass is made of the green stalks of young wheat, that people with gluten intolerance would not be able to consume it. However, when I checked online, I read that wheat- and barley-grass both lack the protein that makes people with gluten allergies sick. Check with your doctor to be sure, but I think it's safe.<br /><br />This powder is very fine and is packed in a resealable pouch that stands up on your shelf. It comes with a cute little scoop for measuring. It does not need to be refrigerated, but should be stored in a cool, dry place.<br /><br />If you are looking for a healthy super-food with a lot of nutrition in a small amount, this is a good choice. You can add it to smoothies, like I did, or make a "wheatgrass shot" with one scoop of powder to 2 ounces of water. How ever you choose to blend it, it's an easy way to eat your greens and get the nutrients they provide.
