Let’s talk about the interesting benefits of wheatgrass.
Typical wheat products like bread and pasta are made with the seed, or grain, of the wheat plant. Wheatgrass is the actual plant that the seed grows on.
The type of wheatgrass used in wheatgrass juice is at an early stage—usually less than ten days old.
I think how healthy wheatgrass is for you depends on what it’s grown on. Wheatgrass grown on soil may be more beneficial than wheatgrass grown in other ways.
Wheatgrass juice powder may also be more beneficial than wheatgrass powder products. Wheatgrass juice powder is more concentrated because it doesn’t contain any fiber.
One of the advantages of wheatgrass juice powder over wheatgrass powder is that people can consume it even if they can’t consume fiber.
Unlike grain, wheatgrass is gluten-free and is low in anti-nutrients, tannins, and oxalates. Wheatgrass juice powder grown on good soil is low-carb and rich in vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and amino acids.
However, I consume wheatgrass juice powder for two main reasons:
1. 70% of wheatgrass is chlorophyll
2. It’s rich in phytonutrients
Both chlorophyll and phytonutrients have a wealth of beneficial properties. Research is also being done on using wheatgrass for a genetic type of anemia called thalassemia.
Growing your own wheatgrass to make wheatgrass juice is inexpensive and pretty simple. Give it a try!

So grateful for you Doc, just whizzed up a batch for me and the kid.
❤😂
That’s great. Wishing you all good health.
I was anemic during pregnancy and started drinking wheat grass and my iron levels went back to normal. Also my first time ever consuming it, I had the best energy boost I’ve ever felt… after the initial nausea from drinking it on an empty stomach 😅
same. boost in energy within 10 minutes. 👍 can’t get it where I live now, will try growing it.
I’m thinking you must be vegan. Correct?
@Don’t Fit nope not at all (never have been) I ❤️ meat ☺️ even during my pregnancy I was eating meat, no problems there…. But I was not eating a healthy diet either. I enjoyed way too many unhealthy sugary carbs 🙈😭 anemia can happen more easily during pregnancy I believe. I’m no expert either.
@xtinacg carbs and sugar cause inflammation and inflammation can cause an iron deficiency
@LiveYourLifeExtra it definitely caused it during my pregnancy then because I was not avoiding any carbs nor sugar at that time. Thanks for the explanation 👍
I think molokhia ملوخيه in the Middle Eastern cuisine is exactly like wheatgrass. Dr Berg should cook it and tell us if it’s a good alternative 🌱😊 yet I still think if it’s a product from Dr Berg ( wheatgrass) it’s going to be brilliant 🥤😋
@Matrices lemon & chillies are only added in the cold version of molokhia which done only in the very rural upper parts of Egypt, while the rest of Egypt and the Arab world would cook it as a hot stew, and will add loads of garlic and a bit of dried coriander powder ,salt,cinnamon & black pepper powder ( like half a small spoon of each in the final step of cooking it) when the chicken or meat molokhia ( with onion & garlic as well,and a chicken stock cube) stew is done , and frying the mince garlic separately with these spices to add them to the pan as a final thing to do, yet I imagine of course consuming wheatgrass is much easier and refreshing in summer time.
@Matrices Molokhiya is also known as the “king of vegetables”.
My family loves this dish. We cook it with chicken and then add molokhiya towards the end to retain its nutritional value.
Its carotene contents are 4.6 times more than spinach and 19 times more than broccoli. Even vitamins B1 and B2 are five times more than spinach contains.
Aka ‘Jute’ mallow, the best energy booster ever! Also eaten across Africa in the form of soups/stews.
@Janet Saldanha Thanks for the info.
@fsdxfsd11 I assume other African countries have it as well, not only North Africa, and it is a sort of mallow. I guess that what ancient Egyptians got the name from Malo changed to Molo- Khia , and Khia in hierograohic meant : poison 😅 First Egyptians thought it was poisonous because it has a laxative effect, then the story says profit Joseph was the first who tried to actually cook and it turned out to be delicious!
Good Morning, Dr. Berg 🍎
Thank you so much for sharing this Interesting idea with us . Have a wonderful day ! May God continue to bless you all 🙏
No problem. Glad to share this information.
Dr. Berg, you are awesome!!! I can’t thank you enough.. I purchased more of your products after I saw your zinc video yesterday
Thank you very much. Hope you like them. Wishing you good health!
Lots of interesting ideas in this video that I plan to research further. Thank you Dr Berg!
You’re welcome. Hope the information here will help you.
My health completely changed with no/very low carbs. No more hives, bloating, hypoglycemia. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
Wonderful. Keep up the good work!
@AlcoveShadow I’ve thought about this possibility for myself, but vegetable oils are in all kinds of foods, not just carbs. So it’s definitely the carbs for me. Vegetable oils are bad too but they mess me up in different ways.
Stop eating maida, sugar,n wheat product…hehe,don’t eat if u r not hungry……😂
@Dr. Eric Berg DC Sir please make a video as to why women have better hdl compared to men.
Thank you so much for your videos! I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also createed a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((r
Who was here waiting to be introduced to a new wheat bread?😅
@Patricia Carlyle Interesting. I was being facetious though because of his thumbnail. I couldn’t be bothered either. LoL
BTW it’s National Grilled Cheese Sandwich day in case anyone wants to observe it. 😁
Can the wheat grass taste like bread and pasta?
😂😂😂
I am!
I was waiting for him to unveil a full plate of croissants and baked goods and yell: “I was just messing with you by asking you to cut carbs, the secret is eating as many of these as you can in a day, all day every day” alas I was disappointed 😢
Quitting wheat has definitely improved my health — my intestinal discomfort is mostly gone. If only I had learned about this 20 years ago, I could have maybe avoided lots of unnecessary suffering. But in world’s wheat basket, wheat is everywhere.
What is wrong with wheat?
They say whole wheat is ok.
@Thamizh T it is. Just excess of everything is not fine.
Thank you so much for your videos! I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also createed a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((r
Thank you for this! I have beta thalassemia and didn’t know how wheat grass could help me. Definitely will start growing my own. Will need to research how to extract the juice from it…
Thanks Dr for all the knowledge you are sharing with us. Please can u speak about the kids supplements to take especially for hyper kids
We’ve been eating bread for how long?? It’s the hardest thing to give up for me.
I hope Dr. Berg does more videos on gluten and why it’s such a problem.
Not even a blink of the eye compared to how long we haven’t been eating bread.
Yes exactly especially the type of bread that’s consumed now
@Ello Ohno yeah maybe it would be different if everyone still made their own bread, and the sources of the ingredients were good quality
@Scott I’ve been doing this. I get organic wheat berries, soak and sprout them and then grind them myself to make bread. I’m sure it’s still not the best thing to eat but I’m hoping it’s at least better as the junk sold at the store. I don’t feel any negative effects from eating it in moderation.
@Krista De Bellis I think when we do things God’s way it all works out. Thanks for sharing.
We switched to Einkorn; freshly ground immediately before baking. Solved all digestive issues. Moderation in consumption is key to health in general.
this would explain why I feel more energised after a wheat grass shot. where I used to live there’d be a juice place in every mall. Tray of fresh wheat grass like shown, wearing gloves they cut off a bunch and juice it, done. I never expect any juice or supplement to make me feel better. But this always did. 👍
I’m sure it’s great for lots of people, but when I started adding it to smoothies my girls & I got really sick (stomach pain/diarrhea). Kale also makes us really sick. We switched to all-purpose einkorn flour for bread & baking and all of our wheat/gluten sensitivity went away.
I found that my bread addiction was tied to the addiction to the excess fats I was eating with it, butter, cheese etc. So I’ve adjusted my diet to have protein every day (eggs, or fish, or beans) and sprinkle crushed nuts in soups and on salad, for a healthier fat. Its been x1 week and so far it’s working, I only had 1 slice of bread with fat in 7 days. My goal is to give up bread completely.
u cn do it! i have a slice of bread evry morning now ,i dont missed it all
I work on the farms that grow your wheatgrass products. I have learned that these green drinks are also the best electrolyte drinks, as well. This iced drink is the most satisfying and energizing drink for working all day in the hot, windy west desert of Utah. I get this green powder for free, though – because I have connections with the owners. However, I do buy your other products. I love them.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Severe burning pain in my knees for 20 years. Stopped consumption of wheat, pain gone in a few weeks. Still pain free 5 years later. I know what I know for myself. Can’t speak for others
Just reminded me of something I used to take back then. It’s truly amazing. I think I’ll start taking again, better still grow my own. Thanks Doctor Berg, you made my day. God bless you for always being there 🙏 appreciate 👍👍👍
It’s been a while, but I used to drink the water as I sprouted the wheat berries. My skin, hair and nails loved it. Getting back into that practice ASAP. For the B vits, fermentation, and C. I’m thinking all that is needed for life is present in the seed. The berries I would put on a salad raw. Tasted like fresh bread to me!!
