This Month’s Spotlight: Wheatgrass Shots

Wheatgrass in short, is the greenery that grows in the initial stages of the well known wheat plant. It is harvested just as the foliage starts to split, before the grass matures and forms seeds or grains. It can be grown easily both indoors and outdoors in a variety of locations. Its bright green leaves are extremely rich in nutrients and can be juiced, freeze dried or dehydrated and made into a nutritious powder!

Wheatgrass shots are a unique elixir containing a variety of highly concentrated ingredients mixed together with the wheatgrass to create a wellness tonic that supports health and well being. Our wheatgrass shot contains wheatgrass, pineapple, lemon, ginger and spirulina (more details on what these ingredients are good for below).
