Another staple of any self-respecting health-nut Angeleno. Wheatgrass is sold in form of capsules or liquid and it is also freshly made in smoothie shops and juice bars. Many people make their own wheatgrass shots, since this superfood is fairly easy to make.
Wheatgrass is very young grass from sprouted wheat seeds. If you want to enjoy it fresh, go for wheatgrass shots. They are made by squeezing the nutritious juice from the grass in a blender or a juicer.
This fad food is popular because it is packed with iron, magnesium, calcium, vitamins A, C and E and, allegedly, chlorophyll. Nutritionists recommend consuming at least one shot of wheatgrass a day to stay healthy and energized. If you dislike the taste, which is understandable, you can add the shot to your juice or smoothie to cover up the nastiness. Or you can simply get it in form of a supplement, sold in health food stores and supermarkets.
