    Introduction

    Wheatgrass is something new but always available easily at Singapore Fairprice.

    I always thought wheatgrass is Indian Arugampul (Bermuda grass) as both are said to be healthy.

    Never dared to try as I am not very keen about including it in diet. But once read that it helps in building immunity.

    It was from a person who fought with Cancer and vouched how it helped developing immunity.

    So thought of giving it a try and took a pack. For the endemic, we do need some form of routine to develop our immunity naturally, right.

    Even then I kept it as such for 3-4 days and then only tried it. Was so scared about the smell.

    FAQs

    How to include wheatgrass in your diet?

    When you just want to begin with wheatgrass, it's best to start with small amount. 30 ml will be apt.

    How does it smell?

    It smells just like raw grass (the same smell when you cut grass in your lawn)

    How to consume it without the raw green smell?

    Balance the taste with lemon juice, black salt (kala namak) and add roasted cumin seeds powder for flavor. All these works like charm to make it palatable.

    What are the ways to consume wheatgrass?

    You can either have it as such as shots (very hard if you are like me) or combine it with other fruit juices or smoothies.

    When should we drink wheatgrass juice?

    Best time to drink wheatgrass juice is when consumed in empty stomach to get the best health benefits.

    Please first start with just little amount and see if it suits you or have any side effects. Then gradually increase if you want. But everyday or every alternate day 30 ml is enough.
