Frozen Wheatgrass Juice Is A Great Source Of Essential Nutrients

By Arthur Scott


People who are too busy or do not have the space to produce and process for themselves can can relax in the knowledge that excellent alternatives are available. Frozen wheatgrass juice is not only an amazing source of essential nutrients, its simplicity makes it really easy to consume regularly.

The term super-food is an appropriate description due to the abundance of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, antioxidants, fatty acids and enzymes. These components are all essentials in the functioning of human systems and in maintaining a healthier body over the course of a lifetime.

Juicing can be for some a really time consuming and messy business and although the benefits of consuming wheatgrass are wildly recognized, the whole process of making an adequate quantity can be off-putting for some consumers. Frozen juice however, is amazingly straightforward and takes very little time to prepare.

The freezing of the produce needs to be done in the correct fashion, otherwise a loss of nutrient value will occur. Flash freezing is by far the best method of achieving this. It involves the rapid freezing of a substance in such a way that the accumulation of water is prevented and the maximum nutritional value of the produce is preserved.

Studies have shown that flash freezing can preserve produce at a superior quality to fresh produce when compared like for like. This is due to the fact that the moment fresh produce is harvested it begins to degrade continuously up to the point where it reaches the consumer. Conversely the rich nutrient value of the frozen produce, is kept at the same level as that when the flash freezing process is complete.

Regrettably, as in most industries, suppliers saying that they follow a certain procedure or standard but in reality doing something completely different, do sometimes occur. For this reason it is vital to order from a reliable grower and one who preferably produces organically. Fortunately the installation properties of modern materials and use of freezer blocks means that a shipment can remain frozen for as long as a five day period. A BPA free container for shipping is also recommended.

Flash freezing fresh produce simply pauses the cellular activity within the tissues, however, the plant is still living. This is why it is so important to source from a reputable company that follows procedures. Cutting corners in any of the steps involved with storing and transport, results in substandard products that do not have the nutritive benefits claimed. A reliable producer will be more than willing to respond to queries regarding this or allow visitors to view their facilities.

Of course an alert consumer will be beginning to think that continuous reordering and carriage costs will start to mount up and make one consider affordability. It will come as a relief to find out that when flash frozen, packed and stored in the right fashion, produce can remain in a good freezer for as long as a year. It will make good sense therefore to buy in larger quantities and store for long periods.

The introduction of frozen produce into the consumer market makes all the difference. Consumers are now able to derive all the healthy, nutritive advantages of this re-vitalizing super-food while avoiding all the hassles that may have been putting them off.
