Question:
Can I freeze wheatgrass juice and have the same health benefits?
I've bought too much wheatgrass and was wondering if I juiced it and then froze the extra, to store, will it retain the same nutrients as if it were fresh? What will it lose if frozen?
Answers:
It is best if you drink it fresh.
Wheatgrass is a raw, living food and when juiced features 100% bioavailability. This makes it a tremendously accessible source of nutrition. Many of the products available to us today have been denatured through processing. Even those that we think may help us, like a vitamin tablet, not only have a fraction of the nutrients available, they only have 10% - 20% bioavailability.
This is important because the human body needs nutrition. Essentially, our bodies orchestrate endless, complex chemical reactions that we call life. Each process requires a precise combination of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and essential fatty acids to function properly. When a vital component is missing, a process will either be abandoned, require excessive amounts of energy to complete or simply malfunction.
Wheatgrass juice is created by harvesting wheat during its young, grassy stage at a height of 7 - 11 inches. At this point, it is loaded with living energy and when squeezed, the tender young blades express a rich, dark green liquid called wheatgrass juice. Wheatgrass juice is a complete food or super food because the broad spectrum of nutrition can single handedly support the body. When consumed in a raw / living state, wheatgrass juice contains well over 100 known vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, essential fatty acids and anti-oxidants. The buttons below show what is in wheatgrass and what bodily functions each nutrient supports. You will be amazed at how important each component is in supporting life. Click below for details:
