There are Biblical references that suggest that all we need eat is grass, the bounty of the Earth. Advocates of the Wheatgrass Diet don't go quite that far, but the benefits of wheatgrass are profound. More on the lab work later. What is generally known as the Wheatgrass Diet is not really the structure of a dietary regimen like the Pritikin Diet or the Ornish Diet. Rather, it is the use or addition of wheatgrass juice as a dietary supplement.
Wheat is nutritious, wholesome and packed with vitamins and enzymes.
I remember what I learned from my friend Chris Blobaum, head chef at the toney Beverly Hills eatery, La Poubelle. I had done him a favor once and as a thank you, he wished to cook dinner for my lady friend and me at my home. I asked him if I could at least help him shop, so we went to the store together. We divvied up the shopping list and I returned to the cart location with my items, one of which was a cello bag of carrots. He was aghast.
