Can Kids Enjoy the Nutritional Benefits of Wheatgrass Juice

Wheatgrass juice is a rich source of various essential nutrients. It provides an excellent supply of beta-carotene, vitamin K, folates, calcium, iron, protein, and fibre. Moreover, it contains significant amounts of several B vitamins, along with a variety of blood-building factors.

When it comes to introducing wheatgrass to children, it is generally considered safe for those over 2 years old. However, it's important to approach the introduction in a thoughtful manner.

Timing plays a crucial role in incorporating wheatgrass into your child's diet. As with any new food or beverage, it's recommended to introduce wheatgrass gradually, starting with small amounts. This allows your child's digestive system to adjust and reduces the chances of any adverse reactions.

To introduce wheatgrass, you can mix half a sachet with apple juice or blend it into their favourite smoothie. By incorporating it into familiar flavours, you can make the taste more appealing to your child. As they become accustomed to the flavour, you can gradually increase the serving to one full sachet.

You can get a similar amount of nutrients from one shot of wheatgrass juice as you can 1.5lb of broccoli. Britt's Superfoods outdoor grown organic wheatgrass juice contains 91 minerals, 20 amino acids and 80 active enzymes and is sugar and gluten-free.

Now you could eat 1.5lbs of greens but we know what we prefer.

Remember, every child is unique, and it's essential to monitor their response to wheatgrass. If you have any concerns or questions, consulting with a healthcare professional or paediatrician.
