Detox with Cereal Grasses

blog post detox with cereal grass jennifer raye1

There are many different kinds of cereal grasses. Some of the most popular are barley, and wheat grass. They all have small differences, but for the most part, their properties, benefits, and uses, are very similar.

Use cereal grasses for:

  • Promoting weight loss and assisting digestion
  • Boosting immunity
  • Cleansing and detoxifying
  • Alkalizing the body and blood
  • Cleaning and building the blood

Cereal grasses contain:

Cereal grasses contain high levels of vitamins and minerals including calcium, iron, and vitamin C. They also contain small amounts of vitamin B12.

Who cereal grasses are not good for:

Because wheat grass has been sprouted it’s usually not an allergen for those who are sensitive to gluten. Therefore it’s usually an acceptable food for wheat sensitive people. If in doubt, try a small amount and see how you feel and react.

Cereal grasses are considered energetically “cold” and cleansing. People who tend to feel cold, and have weakness and fatigue, may benefit from another green superfood such as chlorella or spirulina instead.

Where to buy cereal grasses:

Generally cereal grasses are available as tablets, powder, or fresh greens. If you’re interested in growing grasses yourself there are usually ready to go trays available at health food stores. These trays allow you to grow and harvest the fresh grass right in your kitchen.

How to use cereal grasses:

While cereal grasses are not toxic at higher doses, they can be quite strong. It’s generally recommended that an adult take no more than 2oz. The average dosage should be around 1oz or 1tsp of powder once a day.
