Waves of green - # 7. Wave of Wheatgrass-shots finally about to be on the roll
August 11th, 2007 by Nadja
I love the “sipping-an-espresso-that-unfolds-like-a-lawn-in-your-mouth-sensation” of a shot of wheatgrass.
Unfortunately I’ve never been able to find the healthy shot of green in Denmark…untill today when one of the new juicebars that are popping up like mushrooms in Copenhagen these days.
The juice-and-smoothie-trend has finally hit Denmark with a 5-10 year-delay. And combined with the health-awareness that is also on a quick rise I bet you that it wont be long before the wheatgrass-shots finally are fairly accesible in most Danish cities. The Danes are generally very, very slow when it comes to addapting new waves - and many entrepreneurs drown while wondering why it takes so long for new trends to rise.
But once they spread…they spread like a tsunami.

DRIED WHEATGRASS VERSUS FRESH WHEATGRASS
The nutritional profiles of dehydrated whole leaf Wheatgrass tablets and fresh juice are quite different, so any comparison is a rough estimate. Given that, roughly 1/2 teaspoon or 3-5 tablets will offer similar nutrition to an ounce of fresh juice. However, there’s much more to the story.
Differences in soil conditions, growing time and environment lead to significant differences in nutritional content. Dried Wheat Grass is much more nutritionally concentrated and complete than fresh Wheatgrass juice.
Dried Wheat Grass is naturally concentrated, and provides a wide array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and more. Fresh wheat grass juice, while highly regarded by many for its potential therapeutic value, simply isn’t given the time to develop fully, and can’t compare with Wheatgrass grown the way nature intended.
