Wheatgrass

What is Wheatgrass?

Wheatgrass is the young, freshly sprouted leaves of the common wheat plant, Triticum aestivum. Though it's harvested before the wheat seed matures typically 7 to 14 days after sprouting, this vibrant green shoot is packed with nutrients. Unlike the grains used for flour or baking, wheatgrass is consumed purely for its incredible health-promoting properties.

It thrives best in organic, mineral-rich soil and is often grown indoors on trays or hydroponically. The key to its potency is harvesting at the peak of chlorophyll and nutrient density when the grass is still tender, enzymatically active, and incredibly green.

Wheatgrass has been used since ancient times, but it gained modern popularity in the 1930s through the work of Charles F. Schnabel, who promoted its nutritional value. Today, it's celebrated worldwide as a detoxifying, energizing superfood.

Wheatgrass may look like a simple blade of grass, but it's one of the most nutrient-dense plants you can consume. It's loaded with:

  • Chlorophyll (up to 70%) - a natural blood builder
  • Vitamin A, C, E, K, and B-complex
  • Iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc
  • Amino acids - 17 types, including all essential ones
  • Enzymes - like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and cytochrome oxidase

It also has strong alkalizing properties, helping to counteract acidity in the body caused by stress, processed food, and pollution.

Why Choose Miduty’s Wheatgrass?

Wheatgrass in Miduty’s Supergreen Supplement is grown on certified organic farms (no pesticides, no GMOs), ensuring it’s rich in natural minerals and vitamins. Most competitors use conventional farms, which may diminish nutrient quality.

Rather than using heat-drying (which destroys enzymes, chlorophyll, and antioxidants), Miduty uses low-temperature drying and cold processing to retain Chlorophyll (nature’s green super-antioxidant), vitamin-rich enzymes like SOD and cytochrome oxidase, essential amino acids and micronutrients.
Many standard powders are deprived of these benefits due to high-heat methods.

While raw juice may be highly nutritious, it’s perishable. Miduty’s powdered wheatgrass in Supergreens is processed to maximize nutrient stability and absorption, offering levels of vitamins A, C, E, K, B complex, iron, and magnesium comparable to fresh green juice without the hassle of daily juicing.

Miduty doesn’t just include wheatgrass it integrates it into a potent supergreens formula with:

  • Probiotics for gut health
  • Antioxidant-rich spirulina, barley grass, and moringa

This synergistic approach amplifies effects for digestion, immunity, and detoxification far beyond what wheatgrass alone can achieve.

Rich in Chlorophyll and Antioxidants

Wheatgrass contains one of the highest concentrations of chlorophyll, often referred to as “plant blood” due to its similarity to human hemoglobin. Chlorophyll aids in blood oxygenation, neutralizes toxins, boosts liver function.

Combined with antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, flavonoids, and SOD, wheatgrass helps fight free radicals, reduces inflammation, and slows the aging process.
