Wheatgrass is probably my favourite out of all the superfoods for its endless health benefits. It is extremely alkalising, rejuvinating and rich in chlorophyll. When I am in London I grow my own, when traveling I use a powdered form. I have always struggled with the taste as it is quite strong compared to the other superfoods, but I have found that wheatgrass powder by Organic Burst does not taste bad at all. I normally drink it on it’s own or in a vegetable juice or smoothie in the morning.
