Wheat Grass?????
So i've herd that wheat grass is extremely good for you for you. I've Also herd that 1ounce of wheat grass is equivalent to like 2pounds of veggies. Is this true? If so how does that work?
Answers:
It's disgusting. I suggest getting a juicer and fruit dryer. Throw in grated carrots, celery, green pepper and onion into your casseroles, stirfries, breads and stews. Add veggies, oil and nuts to rice, along with Parmesan cheese. Top cereal with bananas and strawberries. Also, almonds. Wheat germ and oat bran can be added to cream of wheat, maize pudding and oatmeal. Don't forget to drink milk, eat yoghurt and add cheese.

Apples and potatoes are high in Vitamin C. Sweet potatoes, spinach and mushrooms are good for you, lots of Vitamin K in mushrooms. Try getting some protein shake mix with soya or whey protein.
According to most businesses that sell wheatgrass products, this green liquid extracted from sprouted grain is high in vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as many amino acids, such as lysine, tryptophane, and phenylalanine. And wheatgrass is 70% chlorophyll (the stuff that makes plants green).
Wheatgrass distributors and health-food advocates claim that it is practically a fountain of youth and has numerous health benefits, such as:
neutralizing toxins and carcinogens in the body
improving blood sugar disorders
helping prevent tooth decay
increasing hemoglobin production
keeping hair from graying
improving digestion
reducing high blood pressure
aiding in the prevention and curing of cancer
These sources also propose that one ounce of wheatgrass juice is equivalent in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to two and a half pounds of green vegetables.
However, holistic health expert Dr. Andrew Weil points out that there's no evidence to support the claims. Says Dr. Weil:
I don't recommend its use other than as a source of minerals and vitamins. If you like wheatgrass and it appeals to you, fine. Drink it. But I don't think it's a substitute for 2.5 pounds of vegetables. Besides, I don't like the way it tastes.
In our experience, a straight shot of wheatgrass juice tastes like lawn clippings. For a tastier vitamin drink, try mixing it into a smoothie.

I don't know about 2 pounds, but I read it's equivalent to 4-5 servings of vegetables if taken daily.
