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.
Super oxide dismutase (SOD) is an active enzyme that helps to protect cells in the body from damage by free radicals. SOD works by scavenging excess superoxide which is a damaging free radical produced in the body during mitochondrial respiration. Wheat grass is naturally high in SOD making it an ideal product to boost immunity and improve the body’s defences.
Fibre: Wheat Grass is naturally high in fibre. Dietary fibre helps to improve the transit of waste material and may play an important role in lowering cholesterol and improving gut flora.
