Ann wigmore reported that 1 pound of wheatgrass is nutrionially equal to 350 pounds of the choicest green vegetables.







 

Note: This is not a complete analysis. There are thousands of nutrients in most whole foods, including carotenoids, pigments, trace minerals, and numerous phytonutrients. This is just an independent test of the best-known, commonly researched nutrients. Barley grass is nutritionally very similar to wheatgrass. However, cereal grasses grown in other climates and / or harvested under different conditions have always been shown to be less nutritious than our products.
