Wheatgrass is one of the most effective natural health supplements available, because it heals, alkalises, detoxifies and energises our bodies. It is packed full of nutrients, including essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients and all essential amino acids. It also contains chlorophyll, which is a potent antioxidant and acts as a natural detoxifying agent, helping purify the blood and regenerate the liver.

PRODUCTION
We source our wheatgrass from an organic farm in Canterbury, New Zealand. It is harvested while the plant is still young, i.e. below 30 cm tall. Within 1-6 hours of harvest the wheatgrass is transported to an organically certified dehydrating company, where the moisture content is reduced to approximately 4%. This is accomplished through the use of hot air dryers. The drying process takes between 20 and 25 minutes. Samples are taken hourly for daily quality assurance testing. Once dried, the powder is milled, to particles first of approximately 150 - 200 microns, then 50 microns. It is then packaged.

ORGANIC CERTIFICATION
This wheatgrass is organically certified by Biogro in New Zealand and by the Soil Association in the UK. This process involves several stages, intended to guarantee an organic product. The farm is inspected annually to ensure it meets all the organic growing requirements. In addition, all processors of the wheatgrass (e.g. the company that harvests it, the drying company, the mill and the packaging unit) need to be organically certified. Once the product has been packed it is then inspected and certified by Biogro NZ. When the wheatgrass arrives in the UK, the accompanying certificate of inspection is validated by the Port Health Authority.
