Wheatgrass Juicer Definition

Wheatgrass definition

Helpfully, Princeton University have defined wheatgrass as "a grass of the genus Agropyron". Well that's really cleared things up!!! Fair play though, they then define Agropyron as "perennial grasses of temperate and cool regions".

Essentially, wheatgrass is a grass and in order for humans to get the full benefits from it, it needs to be juiced. It is high in Vitamin B12, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin K. It also contains minerals such as calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and selenium.

However, you will need a special type of juicer to juice wheatgrass as it is full of strong fibres.

Wheatgrass Juicer definition

A wheat grass juicer is essentially a standard centrifugal juicer but complete with the ability to juice wheatgrass.

Features of a wheatgrass juicer include:

• Low speed juicing to reduce the heat that destroys sensitive enzymes when juicing
• Heavy duty machine to cope with the juicing of wheatgrass (more than likely a masticating juicer)
