Wheatgrass and Sprouts
The Natural Trading Company has been growing Wheatgrass and Sprouts for Sacramento, Auburn and North Lake Tahoe residents, natural food stores, fitness clubs and juice bars since we began farming in 1995. Over the years we have perfected our growing techniques and feel good that we grow some of the best organic sprouts available. We also grow Wheatgrass and Sprouts for folks who have returned from health institutes--such as Optimum Health in San Diego, Hippocrates Health in Florida and Weimar Institute in Weimar, California--so they can continue eating a raw food diet at home. Additionally, several produce distributors carry our Wheatgrass and Sunflower Sprouts including:
Wheatgrass Juice - Nature's Fountain of HealthWheatgrass juice is the juice extracted from red wheatberry sprouts. Wheatgrass juice has been used for thousands of years around the world for its healing properties and health benefits. Feel the difference an ounce or two a day makes! Energizer: Wheatgrass gives one a remarkable feeling of vitality. Just 1 ounce of wheatgrass juice is equivalent to the nutritional value of roughly 2 pounds of organic green vegetables in vitamin and mineral content. Say goodbye to caffeine! Nutrition: Wheatgrass is a "whole food" containing all the nutrients required for human existence. Wheatgrass has every essential amino acid and is 47.7% protein dry weight. It is high in Vitamins A, B, C, and E, and contains over 90 minerals that are needed by the body to maintain good metabolism. Enzymes, the life force of our food, are found in abundance in wheatgrass juice. Enzymes found in wheatgrass assist in nutrient digestion, keep heart muscle tissue toned, slow cellular aging and neutralize harmful pollutants common in our modern environment. Healer: Wheatgrass juice is one of the best detoxifiers, helping to eliminate hardened mucous, heavy metals, pollutants, crystallized acids and decaying matter. Chlorophyll-found in abundance in wheatgrass-is a blood builder and cleanser that increases the function of the heart, the vascular system, the intestines, the uterus and the lungs. Wheatgrass juice is also known to help dissolve tumors and scars in the lungs. It can repair ulcers, reduce high blood pressure and overcome the physiological effects of radiation from televisions and computer screens. It can also help relieve sore throats, cleanse the skin and prevent tooth decay. Adding Wheatgrass to your diet: 1 ounce a day for the first week is a good dose to start with. Some people feel a little queasy as the wheatgrass begins cleansing the body of toxins, but this will soon pass. Let your body get used to it and gradually increase consumption to 4 to 6 shots per day. Taking a short break on occasion is good to give your body a break from its cleansing effects. The Natural Trading Company grows fresh organic produce and wheatgrass in accordance with the California Organic Foods Act of 1990. CDFA #31-1019. |
