Yes, wheatgrass is a superfood because it is packed with a powerful combination of nutrients that make it extremely useful to your health. Wheatgrass has antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties as because it contains iron, calcium, enzymes, magnesium, phytonutrients, 17 amino acids, vitamins A, C, E, K, and B complex, chlorophyll and proteins.

Health benefits of Wheatgrass:

  • It can eliminate toxins as detoxification & liver strengthener as it has 70 per cent chlorophyll 

  • It can help with digestion as relieves acidity & aids digestion as it has fibre.

  • It can boost your metabolism; it stabilizes our blood sugar levels, lowers cholesterol, reduces fatigue, boosts energy and metabolism, and promotes the formation of red blood cells. 

To make the most of these benefits from superfood, try taking a serving of wheatgrass every day or every other day. I would recommend daily intake for maintaining optimum health which is approximately 30 mls. However, if you are allergic to wheat or grass, or have celiac disease or gluten intolerance, check with your doctor before using wheatgrass otherwise it is one of the safest drinks.  

So, enjoy your cup of wheatgrass drink with hip-hop music in this monsoon season and smartly fight against COVID-19 by building strong immunity.
