hey guys dr berg here i want to share some real  interesting things about wheatgrass that you’ve  

probably never heard before okay now the first  question is what is wheatgrass well it’s not the  

grass that grows in your backyard okay it actually  comes from the wheat plant so wheatgrass is baby  

wheat okay it’s the stuff that they eventually  can turn into flour that they that you can buy  

at the grocery store that they make bread and  pasta and cereal and donuts and cookies right  

that’s what they make and they sell white  bread and wheat bread the whole thing okay  

so that’s the flour this is  made from the grain or the seed  

the seed is what has the gluten in it okay  that’s what creates a lot of digestive issues  

and people have inflammation from it  they get all sorts of digestive damaging  

damage now this is a baby wheatgrass plant  this is at the stage where it’s well before  

the seeds are going to grow so you have no gluten  in this stage whatsoever so there’s no gluten in  

wheatgrass juice powder only in the actual seed  that’s grounded into flour okay so that’s one  

thing that people have a confusion about but  the cycle of a plant when you have a seed or  

a grain it grows into this plant this is the  reason why they capture the wheat grass is that  

this is the peak nutrition for phytonutrients and  nutrition right when it gets about this size about  

four four to six inches that’s when you have the  most nutrition in the cycle of growing wheat okay  

so the next thing i want to talk about is what’s  the difference between the powder okay wheatgrass  

powder and wheatgrass juice powder okay real big  difference very interesting number one is that  

if you take one of these grass i don’t know if  you’ve ever done this and you chewed on some grass  

what happens you can actually crunch it there’s  some crunchiness what is that crunchiness  

you’re basically grinding with your teeth  this fiber and there’s little pockets of  

of wheatgrass that’s in there a juice i’m sorry  and the juice is being released with all the  

nutrition so all their nutrition is inside little  pockets so it’s like little air bubbles it’s very  

similar to bubble wrap okay so i’m sorry to chew  this bubble wrap i’m not going to chew it you  

could actually start to hear the crunching so when  you’re chewing this you’re actually releasing the  

nutrition okay so the problem is that wheatgrass  is mostly 99.99 of its fiber it’s a cellulose  

this fiber does not digest in a human digestive  tract a cow has a very specific enzyme to break  

down this grass we do not so when you buy  wheatgrass powder you’re basically buying  

the fiber mostly because when you consume it you  don’t have the enzyme to extract the nutrition  

and it’s captured in there it’s kind of like  eating hay and that’s really what hay does  

hay is like dried out grass and you feed it to you  know horses and things like that so there’s not  

nearly the amount of nutrition in chlorophyll  in the grass powder and the wheatgrass juice  

powder there is no fiber okay it’s all  nutrition it’s extracted and it’s preserved  

so it’s a hundred percent absorbable okay so  that would be the one difference now it takes  

this entire entire tray of wheatgrass to  make one heaping teaspoon of this stuff  

okay so i’ll show you so this right here is  equivalent to this entire tray without the fiber  

so it’s super concentrated it’s like over 2 000  percent more concentrated okay so this is like 25  

this is 58 cents and the reason we’re able  to do that is because we do this in massive  

quantities so the difference is this is mainly  fiber this is more nutrition and this is a lot  

more convenient because the amount of effort  it would take to juice this with the juicer  

and then clean it oh my gosh going to the  store buying the wheatgrass juice incredibly  

not very convenient okay so anyway okay so those  three very unique things about the wheatgrass that  

we have that i want to share with you the most  amazing thing is how it’s grown we basically  

take seeds we take wheat berries we take the seed  of the wheat and we grow them in late fall okay  

so the snow comes it covers them and it  doesn’t actually become this high until may  

so that’s six months it’s sitting in the  earth and what is it doing it’s growing roots  

so the specific type of wheatgrass that we grow  has a root structure that digs deep into the earth  

pulling all the nutrition up into  that plant so that’s number one  

this stuff is grown within six to ten days  look at this this root structure it’s like  

it’s just like basically fiber there’s no root  structure and a lot of times wheatgrass from the  

healthy store that grows mold well this stuff  is very clean because the nutrition protects it  

against the molds and the viruses and the bacteria  and insects that whole thing that’s what really  

see a weak plant will be susceptible to bugs and  microbes even if there’s a vitamin deficiency  

so we don’t have to worry about a vitamin  deficiency with this so we have a combination  

of the processing of the seed secondly where  it’s grown it’s grown in an ancient seabed  

what does that mean it’s an old ocean floor okay  what’s significant about that is that there’s all  

these trace minerals in there there’s like 93  trace minerals those are the minerals that are  

pulled into the root structure so you’re getting  a product that’s so super enhanced with all of  

the minerals like this does not have the trace  minerals this does okay so we have how it’s grown  

we also have where it’s grown on and lastly and  most importantly converting this grass into this  

powder is very very unique so the company  that i work with use this process called  

bioactive dehydration okay it’s a very unique  patented process where they basically take  

the juice of this and within minutes  turn into powder using very low heats  

so when they juice it the problem is that all the  enzymes all the oils the fat soluble vitamins the  

essential fatty acids in this grass the vitamin  e complexes are very fragile to oxygen and heat  

so number one we have to do this fast so it’s  quickly converted into a powder within minutes  

under low heat nothing above 106 degrees and even  for one minute so we have a it’s only heated for  

um like 106 degrees for one minute and then  the temperature goes down and it turns into a  

powder so what you’re getting right here is a raw  live product in a powdered form when it becomes a  

powder the enzymes are preserved and protected so  all you have to do is add water to this so i’ll  

show you to activate the enzymes so it’s basically  alive so i’m going to take this put a teaspoon

now one one thing with my other wheatgrass  juice powder and i didn’t talk about this  

is that um i would say put it in a glass and stir  it there’s a lot of clumping that occurs with that  

so i’m gonna highly recommend you get a shaker  bottle okay tighten it up and you shake it

this gets 100 of it in the form that’s really  smooth with no clumping okay look at this thing  

this is like liquid health liquid life  so then you can actually drink this

and it’s very very refreshing okay so number one  the seeds are grown for six months in the soil  

which allows for the root structure secondly you  have where it’s grown on ancient seabeds third you  

have the bioactive dehydration where we convert  this into this within minutes so as to protect  

the enzymes and all the other delicate nutrition  okay so there’s a couple other unique benefits  

what i did with this wheatgrass is i added uh  what’s called kamut wheatgrass what is kamut  

wheatgrass well there’s a kind of a story a  background story in 1949 this air man was in  

egypt and apparently he was visiting  the the pyramids and uh he came back  

uh with some wheat berries that he found in  some tomb of some pharaoh okay and he shipped  

them back to montana where they started to grow  them basically they found the ancient wheat berry  

and that’s why they call it sometimes king tut’s  wheat and that’s what kamut is when other people  

take kamu to make flour and make bread even though  it has gluten because it’s a seed they don’t seem  

to have the inflammation or the digestive issues  so that’s very interesting that the ancient grain  

doesn’t create the reaction like you would get  you know at your local store but what they did  

is they the company i work with basically take  the seed of kamut and it grows it same soil same  

process but we added 25 percent commute into this  and the reason why i wanted to do that is because  

kamut has some unique health additional health  back factors number one it has tons of selenium  

selenium is great for the thyroid in converting t4  into t3 especially if someone has hashimoto’s okay  

secondly it’s really uh loaded with more protein  okay and a lot of other phytonutrients so i kind  

of spiked this even more than my other version  which is kind of a plain version with more  

nutrition then we added an organic natural lemon  flavor with a hint of stevia so when you consume  

this it’s it just it’s delicious okay it’s like  a lemon drink it doesn’t taste bad at all uh and  

it’s like quite amazing okay so to make it easier  to drink and then two other things number one  

it’s very convenient you don’t have to get a  juicer you just take this around take a teaspoon  

teaspoon stick it in here it has a little scooper  in there as well get a shaker bottle that’s going  

to be important shake it up and drink it some  people do it in the morning some people do at  

night some people do it morning and night if you  take one serving it’ll last you 60 days okay the  

cost per serving is 58 cents this is 25 okay so  it’s it’s a we’re able to bring the cost down  

because we get it in bulk i have to order a year  in advance of this stuff because how it’s seasonal  

and they have to grow it i can’t just order it  tomorrow i have to wait and then i have to make  

sure that’s why i keep running out of this stuff  because it’s such a great product people and then  

i have to wait until it comes back okay and i  put a link in the description box so you can  

get more information about this and then send  me your comments thank you so much for watching
