Wheat Grass

Organic Wheat Grass Powder – One of the most potent green vegetables available. Wheat grass is an excellent source of fiber and iron as well as natural vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes. Wheat grass is known to be highly alkalizing and will help detoxify the body.

The consumption of wheatgrass in the Western world began in the 1930s as a result of experiments conducted by Charles F. Schnabel in his attempts to popularize the plant.

Schnabel, an agricultural chemist, conducted his first experiments with young grasses in 1930, when he used fresh cut grass in an attempt to nurse dying hens back to health. The hens not only recovered, but they produced eggs at a higher rate than healthy hens.
Encouraged by his results, he began drying and powdering grass for his family and neighbors to supplement their diets.

The following year, Schnabel reproduced his experiment and achieved the same results. Hens consuming rations supplemented with grass doubled their egg production. Schnabel started promoting his discovery to gristmills, chemists and the food industry.

By 1940, cans of Schnabel's powdered grass were on sale in major drug stores throughout the United States and Canada.
