Wheatgrass is a nutritionally complete food. The nutrients found in wheatgrass are many, and are utilized for healing and the maintenance of good health by many health savvy people. Gourmet Wheatgrass is a qualified professional grower and we do not profess to be health experts, however, we are well aware of all the health benefits, and grow it because we would like to provide high quality wheatgrass and micro greens that are a superior quality. Research has shown that Wheatgrass and Micro Greens provide the nutritional ingredients that can have a healing effect for many maladies. If your interest in wheatgrass is for the treatment of a disease, the detoxing effect of wheatgrass should be regulated so the body can rid itself of toxins, etc. without experiencing the Herxheimer Reaction.
One key question about wheatgrass is how long to wait after cutting it before you consume it? Most people, taking their cue from Ann Wigmore, say to take it immediately after cutting and juicing. However, the hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is 40 times more potent 4 hours after cutting the wheatgrass than it is at the time of cutting. So the question boils down to this: How important is ABA to treating cancer compared to the other anticancer substances in wheatgrass?
Before her death, Dr. Virginia Livingston-Wheeler had a clinic that cured cancer patients. Her vaccine was based on abscisic acid. This is a quote about her clinic.
•“Abscisic acid is a supplement you will not find in a health food store. Based on her research, Dr. Livingston-Wheeler determined that abscisic acid neutralizes the effect of chorionic gonadotropin, the hormone that protects the fetus from being rejected, and she classed it as her prime supplement in treating cancer. Livingston-Wheeler discovered that cancer cells (or the microbes associated with them) produce a substance very similar to chorionic gonadotropin. Abscisic acid is a close relative of Vitamin A. In her book, The Conquest of Cancer; Livingston-Wheeler describes how you can make abscisic acid.”
So what do you do, eat it immediately or 4 hours after you cut it? Perhaps both. Perhaps when you cut your wheatgrass and juice it, you drink most of it immediately and some 4 hours later you drink the rest of it.

Wheat grass is nutrient rich. The young plants are at a stage of growth when the plant develops a peak nutrition. These young plants contain many vitamins, enzymes, fiber, minerals and trace minerals, protein, chlorophyll, and essential amino acids. Consumption of these plants will help to alkalize your bodies tissue and maintain the blood at the optimum PH level. They will also help to increase your energy level. Your blood will become more oxygenated and increase the number of red blood cells. You may experience less of a craving for high calorie foods and sweets, which can be an aid in a weight lose program. Wheatgrass is considered a wholefood. A wholefood is a food that is considered healthy because it is grown naturally, has not been processed, and contains no artificial ingredients. (Quoted from Wikipedia) "Diets rich in whole and unrefined foods, like whole grains, dark green and yellow/orange-fleshed vegetables and fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds, contain high concentrations of antioxidant phenolics, fibers and numerous other phytochemicals that may be protective against chronic diseases."[1] A diet rich in a variety of whole foods has been hypothesized as possibly anti-cancer due to the synergistic effects of antioxidants and phytochemicals common in whole foods.[6]
A focus on whole foods offers three main benefits over a reliance on dietary supplements: they provide greater nutrition for being a source of more complex micronutrients, they provide essential dietary fiber and they provide naturally occurring protective substances, such as phytochemicals.[7]
Healthy Greens - Healthy Body
In general, eating a diet rich in green foods will go a long way to improving your health. Wheat grass will detoxify, alkalize, mineralize, and energize. Wheatgrass will build a strong immune system, and a strong immune system can ward off disease and prevent a disease from gaining a foothold. The key to using wheat grass for improving your heath, is to make sure it is a high quality. You are what you eat. Hydroponic wheat grass is as good as the water for irrigation and the fertilizer and minerals. Growing wheat grass in a non soil medium such as coir mats may be convenient, but it is artificial and offer the plant no nutrients like a good potting soil rich in compost would. Wheatgrass grown in potting soil is the best relative to the plants health, however, not all potting soil is a high quality, and some potting soil may contain contaminates. Try to ascertain the origin of the potting soil and the components within it. Potting soil with any type of manure in it is risky because of possible bacteria contamination. Plastic pots should be avoided because chemical residue from the plastic will be transpired into the plant, and ultimately you.
