Greener Greens with Nutritionally Charged
Superfoods—Cereal Grasses, Sea Veggies and More
Let’s raise the green bar even higher with some greener greens.
High-quality greens such as broccoli, spinach and kale are
amazing superfoods, but there are also cereal grasses and sea
veggies to consider. Cereal grasses are the young green plants
of cereal grain. All cereal grasses, including the green leaves
of wheat, barley, rye, oat and kamut, are nutrient-dense foods.
They are high in chlorophyll, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E
and are a good plant source of complete protein.
Now let’s not forget about the green power of sea veggies, namely
spirulina and chlorella. They’re are among the richest sources
of chlorophyll. These one-celled, water-dwelling plants have been
on earth for a very long time. They’re in a continual rate of
expansion and growth, allowing them to store incredible energy
and to harbor extremely high nutrient content.
Among their nutrients are protein, all the B vitamins, vitamins C
and E, trace minerals, amino acids, omega-3s and GLA fatty acids—
fatty acids that produce something called prostaglandin 1, which
is important for a healthy heart, vascular and immune health as
well as healthy cholesterol and insulin levels.
Wheatgrass is a favorite green of many—often in the form
of wheatgrass shots. Each shot is equivalent to some
of the most nutritious leafy green vegetables imaginable.
It’s so concentrated, that some say two wheat grass shots are
equivalent to nearly three pounds of vegetables in vitamins,
minerals and live nutrient energy!
Additionally, sea veggies are abundant in beta-carotene
and the nucleic acids ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic
acid (DNA), which are known for their benefits to cellular health.
They’re also natural detoxifiers.
Wheat grass juice shots are also deep green in color, due to the
nearly 70 percent chlorophyll content. Wheat grass juice also
provides protein, including all essential amino acids.

Additionally, wheat grass juice supports the growth of Lactobacilli,
the healthy bacteria which grow naturally in the human digestive
tract. Wheat grass juice is also teeming with enzymes—that is,
if it’s not overprocessed or overheated. That’s why it’s good to
have your greens—raw.
The aforementioned green superfoods are packed with nutrients
and more, but it’s the green juices of those green superfoods that
contain an abundance of chlorophyll, enzymes, iron, magnesium,
phosphorous, potassium, provitamin A, B-complex vitamins,
vitamins C, E and K as well as other nutrients.
But we can’t stop there. Let’s discuss the greenest greens.
