I swear by it for that morning-after hangover relief.  A shot of Wheatgrass, twice a day on an empty stomach, as well as a HUGE glass of fresh pressed veggie juice seem to knock the (rare) hangover I have on it's rear (I'm not a big drinker).  I don't like powdered wheat grass nearly as much as fresh, but I have a hard time finding the fresh/frozen stuff around here.  I don't know if it's as "miraculous" as "they" claim it to be, but I like the taste, and feel good after drinking it.

well i'll give it a try, thanks!

I have been wondering the same thing.  I go by Jamba Juice and I know they have it and I was wondering if it'd be worth it to stop in and have a shot.

Is it good for anything besides hangovers?  I don't drink or anything so that doesn't really apply to me!
how many cals is it?

This is from www.wheatgrass.ca:

  • Two ounces of fresh wheatgrass juice is equivalent to the nutritional value of roughly 4 pounds of organic green vegetables in vitamin and mineral content.
  • Wheatgrass rebuilds the blood stream.
  • Helps prevent tooth decay.
  • Improves the body's ability to heal wounds. On an empty stomach, it is assimilated into the blood in about 20 minutes.
  • Creates an unfavorable environment for unfriendly bacteria growth.
  • The many detergent factors of wheatgrass juice can drain the lymph system, carrying away many toxins from all body cells.
  • Has the ability to break down poisonous carbon dioxide and release free oxygen.
  • Wheatgrass juice has been shown to build red blood cells quickly after ingestion. It normalizes high blood pressure and stimulates healthy tissue-cell growth.
  • Keeps hair from graying.
  • Wheatgrass juice is very high in enzymes and chlorophyll. It contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which helps to purifies the blood.
  • Wheatgrass juice washes drug deposits from the body.
  • Neutralizes toxins and carcinogens in the body.
  • Helps purify the liver.
  • Wheatgrass Improves blood sugar disorders.
  • Improves digestion.
  • Removes heavy metals from the body.
  • Reduces high blood pressure.
  • Aids in the prevention and curing of cancer
  • Wheatgrass Juice is a complete protein with about 30 enzymes (incredibly important for correct digestion) and about 20 amino acids which are the building blocks of protein.
  • Increases hemoglobin production.

I don't know how much of the above is true, but I love it, it makes me feel great, and it tastes great.  I found a place near my house that sells it frozen in 1oz cubes (basically a shot glass) 16.00 for 14 shots, which isn't bad. 

Calories?  I think 21/100g
