For some reason, it has become common
practice to describe these reactions as experiencing the strong
detoxifying effects of wheatgrass juice. Well informed
people know better and attribute these reactions to the presence
of mold.
Your body is reacting to toxic
substances commonly found in wheatgrass grown indoors and within
greenhouse environments. It is well known to growers and
kit sellers that wheatgrass grown in these closed systems
quickly becomes contaminated with molds.
Scrubbing and washing the grass
removes some of the contaminates, but in most cases, you are
ingesting mycelial growth (slime mold); specifically the
phytopathogens Rhizopus sp. and Pythium sp. Take a careful
look the next time you see a tray, you'll see it on the lower
portion of the grass. Growers try to wash the molds off,
use fungicides, use hydrogen peroxide or just try to cut above
it. Unfortunately, none of these techniques is effective
as it grows right into the grass and it remains tainted. |
Why Our Juice Does Not Have
Mold Problems
We grow in a natural environment in which
mother nature in her infinite wisdom has processes which prevent the
molds from taking hold. This is a combination of sun, air, lower
density planting, frost cycles, winter and planned fallowing of the
land.
Our juice isn't just better, it is in a league
of its own. It always tastes light, a little sweet and is very
well tolerated by both your taste buds and your body.
For the record, we did grow in a greenhouse at one time and switched to
outdoor growth due to the same mold problems found in closed system
growing operations today. |
