One of the most familiar harvested young grasses used mostly in nutritional areas is wheatgrass. Wheatgrass (Lophophytum Elongatum) is the green-growing, early form of the wheat grain.
Wheatgrass is a completely different entity from the mature wheat stalk filled with grain. Fully mature wheat is classified as a grain, while young wheatgrass is classified as a vegetable.
The ingestion of wheatgrass juice has been claimed to be the new Fountain of Youth, just as green tea was proclaimed to be about a decade ago. Research bears out a multitude of benefits derived from using the material. Recent information from nutritional research indicates that wheatgrass is a whole food that has been harvested at the absolute peak of its nutritional value.
Think of it as concentrated “solar energy,” or simply as an off-the-shelf source of the very best that green plants have to offer. As one of nature’s richest foods, Lophophytum Elongatum extract provides a natural source of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and enzymes (over 80 have been identified) our skin needs to nourish cells and help maintain a healthy lifestyle.Synonyms
