..Very interesting John...
..In case you are unaware of how healthy wheat grass is, here is a small article... You should juice it!!
Wheatgrass is fast becoming one of the most widely used supplemental health foods. It contains chlorophyll (nature's most health promoting nutrient), 20 amino acids, several hundred different enzymes not found in other foods, as many as 90 out of 102 possible minerals, vitamins and other important nutrients. It is perfect for dieters, athletes, people on the go, who want to maintain a healthy immune system, or simply anyone who wants to feel GREAT.
Wheatgrass is the young grass stage of grain plants, taken just after sprouting. It has been described as " Quite possibly the closest thing to the fountain of youth man has ever conjured up ".
It contains 70% chlorophyll, chlorophyll being the basis of all plant life. Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth and development of unfriendly bacteria.
In 1958 Dr Ann Wigmore was singly most responsible for popularising wheatgrass for its healing properties. She tested various weeds and grasses from all over the world at the Hippocrates Health Institute in Boston, and wheatgrass was her favourite due to its high nutrient content.
