There are many different reasons why frozen wheatgrass juice makes a lot of sense. We specifically believe that it needs to be grown outdoors and here are a few benefits of great outdoor grown wheatgrass juice which has been flash frozen:
- Quality
Wheatgrass juice from outdoor grown plants develops a 6x deeper root system, grows in a slow natural timeline which is 10x longer, chlorophyll levels are 50% higher and simple sugars are non-existent.
- Health Impact
Winter wheat is a natural, winter surviving plant due to ice structuring proteins in the plant. As a result, flash freezing it does no harm to the juice. Your very best verification method is to use any of the objective measures available to see how you are doing. This includes things like glucometers, blood pressure machines, tests from your doctor, etc. Even more exciting, do live blood cell analysis. When you do before and after live blood cell analysis, you will see massive internal changes like the unclumping of red blood cells. This is a great validation for anyone who does not have other objective measures that they can use.
- Taste and Tolerability
Wheatgrass juice grown outdoors in the right region has no detectable molds. This makes the juice taste 1000% better and the juice produces non of the side-effects incorrectly characterized as "detoxification".
- Convenience without Compromise
There are 3 main groups that find there way to wheatgrass juice. Performance athletes, the middle aged with a child or two (like me) and those with a serious health crisis. In all cases, time can be very hard to find. Generally, none of these three types of households are in a position to take on the additional stress of growing their own wheatgrass.
- Immediate Availability
You can start with flash frozen juice like ours tomorrow morning as we UPS it overnight to your door. This can give you a considerable jumpstart. Very few people start growing and producing good wheatgrass right away. Even if you were to do this, you can't start using the juice for 10 days (the growing cycle of the tray growing wheatgrass).
- Smaller Start-up Cost
Those wanting large amounts of wheatgrass juice require an expensive wheatgrass specific juicer in the $250 range. With juice like ours, you simply do not need this. For someone drinking a modest amount (say 1 fl. oz. per day), they can certainly get a less expensive manually operated juicer.
- Reduced Continuing Use Cost
Flash frozen juice like ours costs less money, less time and less effort than sourcing the grass from other sources (like a local wheatgrass tray provider) and juicing it yourself. Naturally, if you are able to grow your own, you can save money but it does come at a time and energy cost.
- Frozen Is Best For Northern Locations
Reduced sunlight in the winter months makes indoor growing difficult without supplimental lights. Wheatgrass just isn't the same without natural UV.
- Frozen Is Best Solution For High Volume Drinkers And Families
Growing to add a small amount to your diet here and there is one thing. Anyone using larger amounts or a small amount for several family members will find growing to make several ounces available per day a much bigger task than expected.
So take advantage of the frozen medium. Whether you buy juice from us or grow your own, everyone can utilize freezing to help manage their juice. If you are growing indoors, you will have likely have somewhat reduced quality, taste and tolerability but perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this might be the best approach for you.
