Sprouted grasses provide incredible health benefits. Containing an abundance of vitamins and minerals and bio-available protein. The best and most efficient way to access these nutrients is by juicing them. The liquid that flows from these leafy blades goes on a direct feed as it is quickly digested and utilized by the human body. Many are familiar with wheat grass but are not familiar with the wide range of grain grasses available. Best of all these grasses can be easily grown at home at a low cost.
Let us have a look at the wide range of grain grasses available as well as a sampling of their nutrient profiles.
Wheat Grass is a source of potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, iron, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium. As stated earlier wheatgrass is also a source of protein (less than one gram per 28 grams).
Barley Grass is a multi-nutrient rich super food loaded with vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B6, folate, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and vitamin K(phylloquinone). It contains an abundance of electrolytes such as magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium along with other essential minerals such as zinc, iron, and calcium. Barley grass is also a rich provider of powerful antioxidants, essential amino acids, and beneficial enzymes. It supplies the valuable fiber to the body and does not offer any harmful cholesterol.
Millet Grass, highly alkaline like all the other grasses. Millet grass is rich in vitamins C, B and E. Millet is also a source of Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorus. Millet is also a protein source.
Rye Grass has very much the same flavor as Wheat Grass. Rye produces a Red tinged blade of grass. Rye is a great source of Vitamins A, B, C, E and K. Calcium, Chlorophyll, Iron, Lecithin, Magnesium, Pantothenic Acid Amino Acids, Trace Elements, Phosphorus, and Potassium.
There are some resources that sell fully grown grain grass, but it so easy and much cheaper to grow at home yourself. Watch this video for a full instructions on how to grow wheat grass at home. These instructions can be applied to all of the grains that have been listed here.
Likely the best juicer for extracting the precious fluids from these grasses is the Omega Juicer. This Juicer uses a slow press method to release the maximum juice from every blade of grass. Try blending all these grasses together and mix into one juice for a huge nutrient boost.
