Wheatgrass is the leafy growth of the young wheat plant (Triticum aestivum). Although wheat has been used as a cereal crop for millennia, this part of the plant has only been consumed by humans since agricultural research into its effectiveness as a dietary supplement in the 1930s. It is packed with nutrients, including essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients and all the essential amino acids. It also contains antioxidants such as chlorophyll.
Wheatgrass contains just 10-15 calories per teaspoon, with no fat or cholesterol. It is an excellent source of protein, providing around one gram of protein per teaspoon. Wheatgrass protein contains 19 of the 22 amino acids, including all of the eight essential amino acids (those the body can't make for itself). It is thus an excellent source of protein for vegans, who often lack it in their diets.
Wheatgrass is also rich in vitamins, including A, B1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, B12, C, E and K. It is richer in vitamin C than orange, and twice as abundant in vitamin A as carrot. It also contains Chlorophyll.
