Juice Works: Wondrous ways with wheatgrass

Who would've thought, of all the superfoods out there, the most remarkable one is a little green grass - wheatgrass!
Packed full with health benefits that helps to fights free radicals ravaging our bodies, it is a natural source of vitamins A, C, E, K and B; minerals and enzymes including iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc and amino acids.
Juice Works is the first in Malaysia to offer pure and wholesome wheatgrass that are freshly harvested and juiced on the spot upon orders. They are served in small shots with a wedge of orange to balance its slightly bitter taste.
Alternatively, you can also opt to have the wheatgrass added into a juice or smoothie.
If you notice, wheatgrass is planted right by the counter of most Juice Works stalls. The wheatgrass are grown and harvested right before your eyes to preserve the rich supplies of living enzymes in each blade of grass.
If you decide to incorporate wheatgrass in your daily diet, it is advised you do it slow and steady. Take one ounce a day and gradually increase to two ounces. Wheatgrass is so potent that all you need is two ounces of it to enjoy its health benefits.
Also, it's recommended to take wheatgrass on an empty stomach, as it can be better absorbed.
