Wheatgrass is a grass that comes from a young wheat plant and can be bought from a health food store or grown in your own home. It is full of minerals, vitamins, enzymes, chlorophyll, and amino acids. It is grown in many parts of the United States and Canada. When wheatgrass is grown outdoors it grows throughout the winter. When wheatgrass is grown indoors it takes about 2 weeks before it is harvested and ready to juice.

Two to four ounces of wheatgrass juice is the amount you need to drink throughout the day. Drinking it slowly throughout the day gives you a chance to get used to the taste and to know the impact it will have on your body. Mixing it with other juices may help you get used to the taste. Never drink more than two ounces of wheatgrass juice at one time or it could make you sick to your stomach.

The best way to make wheatgrass juice is with a wheatgrass juicer. A manual wheatgrass juicer is the best to use because it allows you to slowly press the wheatgrass through the press with ease and not destroy the enzymes that a more powerful juicer might do.

Some of the benefits and claims of drinking wheatgrass are that it is a powerful detoxifier and liver and blood protector. It also claims to help with the skin by helping to eliminate itching when applied to the skin. It also helps sunburned skin and insect bites. There have also been claims it can help with obesity as well as with digestion. Using a wheatgrass juicer is the best way to get these great benefits.

It is suggested that when you buy a wheatgrass juicer you buy one that is stainless steel to avoid the possibility of rusting. Many of these juicers can also be used to make jams and purees as well. Most wheatgrass juicers can be bought for under $50.00.
