Difference between Tray Grown and Field Grown Wheatgrass?

What is the difference between Tray Grown and Field Grown Wheat Grass?

Nutritionally speaking there is actually a quite a difference. First of all, any wheat grass is good for you. However, tray-grown wheatgrass is quickly grown typically in water or thin soil and usually harvested in 7 to 11 days. Its rapid growth cycle produces simple sugars. People generally drink the tray-grown juice for therapeutic reasons and it’s purported energy boost.

Wheat Grass is grown outdoors, which has the most ideal climate. It is grown over 200 days through the winter. The visible grass grows very little until the spring, but the roots grow deep in our organic soil and have all winter to absorb the abundance of nutrients in the mineral rich organic soil. In fact, wheat Grass has every nutrient the human body needs to survive, except vitamin D, which is produced naturally by your skin from sunlight. It is known that a vegetables nutritional content is a direct result of the soil where they are grown. The optimal soil helps explain the abundance of minerals and nutrients in wheat Grass.
