Readers Question:


Hello. As most of us, including me, do not own a farm or land, and only a few have a garden in which to grow lots of fresh wheatgrass that can keep a whole family fed wheatgrass on a daily basis, we end up buying wheatgrass dried in sachets or whatever. And I am a little bit skeptic about getting the maximum benefit from it being dried that way.

So a question suddenly hit me one day: why not just eat green leaves like rocket leaves or watercress salad? And I’m not including lettuce, because I do realize that rocket leaves is in a very different league from lettuce.

So how about that? Buying fresh rocket leaves on a daily basis and eating them? Wouldn’t that be more beneficial than drinking dried powder of wheatgrass? Or is there something about wheatgrass specifically as a species that makes it stand out so much?

Please include references or links in your answer when relevant.

Many thanks for everyone taking the time to help & give tips & information.
