Wheat grass is a type of grass used to make medicine from its above-ground parts, roots, and rhizome. It serves as a concentrated source of essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and E, iron, calcium, magnesium, and amino acids. Wheat grass juice is a popular health drink that may offer benefits when consumed fresh and immediately after extraction on an empty stomach. However, there is currently no scientific evidence to support this claim. Research has shown that wheat grass contains high levels of chlorophyll and various vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, which may help prevent oxidative stress and cell damage in test-tube and animal studies. Wheat grass is widely available in powder, juice, and capsule form at health food stores, specialty grocery stores, and online retailers.

Wheat grass can be grown both indoors and outdoors. A common indoor method involves growing sprouts on trays filled with potting mix. Harvesting occurs when leaves develop a split, signaling that another leaf is emerging. The matured leaves can then be cut off with scissors, allowing new shoots to form. Typically, two harvests are possible, but the third cutting may be less sweet and more challenging to obtain.

How to use:

Powdered Herb:

Powdered herbs can be used in a variety of ways.

You can add powdered herbs to various food products such as superfood blends, smoothies, sauces, spreads, and baked goods like cookies. For children, mix the powder with honey or glycerin to create a paste. The thicker the paste, the stronger the herbal flavor will be. This method, known as "Electuaries", helps mask the taste of the herbs with the sweetness of the honey or glycerin.

Encapsulating your own powdered herb at home ensures that each capsule contains only the herb itself, without fillers or additives. The capsules can be taken with a liquid.

Herbal poultice: A mixture of powdered herbs and liquid, typically water, forms a paste that can be applied directly to the skin to treat various skin conditions.

Mix powdered herbs with water, fruit juice, or another liquid to create an herbal shot.
