Most common impression about the use of grass is the usual front and back lawn decoration to beautify every backyard. Who would have thought that grass juice can be considered as a ‘complete food’? Sounds kind of bizarre right? Well, this wheatgrass is said to be a ‘complete food’ because according to researchers, it has all the essential nutrients the body needs. Though it is not advisable to eat this weeds like eating salad (unless we want indigestion), the best way is to turn it to juice for us to absorb its beneficial elements. You might be surprise that the taste of this green grass juice has certain sweetness to it and not just the common expectation of horrible weed flavor. I would say that it is bearable to drink and I like how it tastes.
