Why Wheatgrass? 🌾

Wheatgrass has been a staple of health-conscious living for decades. A single shot of wheatgrass juice delivers a concentrated dose of chlorophyll, living enzymes, and vitamins that your body absorbs almost instantly. It contains over 103 vitamins and nutrients, including vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B8, B12, C, E, and K.

It also delivers iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, beta-carotene, and all 9 essential amino acids. Our wheatgrass is grown in nutrient-rich living soil, not hydroponically, which gives it a deeper flavor and better nutritional profile. How much are you spending on supplements that deliver a fraction of what one serving of wheatgrass provides?

The taste is sweet and grassy. Most people take it as a 1-2oz juice shot, but you can also blend it into smoothies or mix with apple juice. Fresh, soil-grown wheatgrass is in a different league from the powder versions.

Nutrition Highlights 💪

  • ✓ 103+ vitamins and nutrients in a single serving
  • ✓ Vitamins A, B1-B12, C, E, K complete spectrum
  • ✓ All 9 essential amino acids for complete protein
  • ✓ Iron, Magnesium, Calcium, Phosphorus key minerals
  • ✓ Chlorophyll and Beta-carotene for detox and immunity

BENEFITS & NUTRITION

Why Wheatgrass Stuck Around for 70 Years

70%

Chlorophyll content by dry weight, the highest of any commercially grown food

90+

Trace minerals, including iron, magnesium, calcium, and selenium pulled from soil

Gluten-Free

Cut before the seed forms gluten, safe for celiac and gluten-sensitive diets

Wheatgrass is the original health-food microgreen. Ann Wigmore documented its therapeutic use in the 1950s, the juice-bar industry built itself around it in the 1970s, and the published research has only gotten more interesting since. The reason: chlorophyll content. Wheatgrass carries up to 70 percent chlorophyll by dry weight, the highest of any food humans regularly consume.

Chlorophyll is structurally close to hemoglobin, with magnesium where iron sits. The research suggests it supports red blood cell production, binds heavy metals for excretion, and provides antioxidant activity that mature greens cannot match. Wheatgrass also delivers a full-spectrum mineral profile pulled from clean soil: iron, magnesium, calcium, selenium, and over 80 trace minerals depending on growing conditions.

Note for celiac and gluten-sensitive customers: wheatgrass is harvested before the seed forms gluten. The cut shoot is gluten-free even though the plant species is wheat. We get this question often enough to put it in writing. Add wheatgrass shots to your subscription →

FOR CHEFS, BARTENDERS & SERIOUS COOKS

How Working Chefs and Bartenders Use Wheatgrass

Beyond the juice-bar shot, wheatgrass has quietly become a working ingredient in modern restaurants, juice bars, and craft cocktail programs. Here is where it earns its place.

🧃

Juice Bar and Smoothie Shop Staple

The original use case and still the largest. Wheatgrass shots, blended into green smoothies, mixed into cold-pressed juices. Soil-grown wheatgrass tastes noticeably cleaner than hydroponic, which juice operators learn to spot fast once they side-by-side them.

🍸

Craft Cocktail Ingredient

A few drops of fresh wheatgrass juice tints a gin sour or a mezcal margarita a brilliant chlorophyll green. Pair with citrus, cucumber, and floral aromatics. The grassy note works the way a fresh herb works in a cocktail, not as a center but as a finish.

🎨

Plating Oil and Sauce Color

Pureed wheatgrass strained through cheesecloth and emulsified with neutral oil gives a vivid chlorophyll plating oil for crudo, scallop dishes, and dessert plating. Holds 1 week refrigerated. A drop of this on a white plate reads instantly as restaurant.

🐾

Pet Health Cafés and Doggy Daycares

Cats and dogs naturally seek out grass for digestive support. Pet-focused cafés, daycares, and groomers offer fresh wheatgrass trays as a healthy treat. The same soil-grown quality that matters for humans matters for pets.

From Seed to Your Table 🌱

🌰

Day 1. Planted with Care

Premium wheat berries are soaked and planted in nutrient-rich living soil. No chemicals ever.

🌿

Days 4-7. Growing Strong

Bright green blades shoot upward rapidly, building chlorophyll and concentrating all 103+ nutrients.

✂️

Days 8-10. Harvested Fresh

Cut at 6-7 inches tall when nutrient density peaks. Delivered fresh the same day for juicing.

SHELF LIFE & STORAGE

How Long Does Fresh Wheatgrass Last?

About 2 weeks refrigerated in a sealed container at 38 to 40 °F. Juice within the first week for peak chlorophyll content. Once juiced, drink within 20 minutes for maximum enzyme activity.

❄️

Refrigerate Immediately

Place the clamshell or bag in the crisper drawer the moment they arrive. Chlorophyll and enzyme activity stay highest at cold temperatures.

🧃

Juice Within the First Week

Peak chlorophyll and live enzyme content in the first 7 days. Safe through 2 weeks but the nutrient density slowly drops. Build your week of shots in batches of 3-4 days at a time.

🌡️

Never Freeze the Fresh Grass

Ice crystals rupture the cell walls and the chlorophyll bleeds out, leaving brown mush when thawed. You CAN freeze fresh-pressed wheatgrass juice in ice cube trays for up to 3 months. Defrost slowly in the fridge.

Juicer tip: masticating juicers preserve enzymes; centrifugal juicers destroy them through heat and oxidation. Worth the investment if you drink wheatgrass weekly.
