We're so glad you asked! Here's the simplest way to break it down:
-
Navitas Wheatgrass Juice Powder is freeze-dried wheatgrass juice.
-
Most wheatgrass powders on the market are ground up whole blades of wheatgrass.
Why is this important? Because, to put it simply, people aren't made to eat grass! Leaves like lettuce and kale? Sure. But grass? Our digestive systems literally aren't built for that. Cows, whose diets consist mainly of grass, have four stomachs just so that they can digest it!
In addition to being much easier for your body to digest and absorb, our Wheatgrass Juice Powder is highly concentrated with nutrients because it doesn't contain the grass fibers that typically bulk up the product.
Navitas Organics uses a state of the art facility in New Hampshire to grow and juice our wheatgrass. 100lbs of organic wheatgrass juice is freeze-dried into just 4lbs of powder! This makes Navitas Wheatgrass Juice Powder highly concentrated, which is why we recommend starting with 1/4 tsp.
