Wheat grass is a grass which belongs to the large family of grasses such as barley and rye which we are familiar with. Most of the juice that is made from wheat grass, however, comes from grass grown inside on special trays. Grass that is dried and dehydrated for around 60 days is used to make supplements. When combined with wheat berries, the fresh wheat grass can produce a highly nutritious drink rich in chlorophyll. This drink is believed to help in the prevention of cancer but is known to neutralize a lot of the toxins in the body, cleanse the body and reduce the rate of aging.

Although analyses between conventional and non-conventional foods show great relevancy, the rule of the common sense is the one that influences the purchase decision.

By contrast, natural organic foods are cultivated or grown according to the rules of Mother Nature, with very little human intervention.
