History

There is not much information available about the folklore surrounding wheatgrass. However, it is believed to have been used for medicinal and magickal purposes in the Middle East and other parts of the world. Native to the Middle East and believed to have been used for centuries, wheatgrass is made from the sprouts of the wheat plant and is usually consumed in the form of a juice or powder. Wheatgrass is often grown indoors and is harvested when the grass is still young and tender, typically at about 7–10 days old. It is then juiced or dehydrated to create the final product.

In the early 1900s, a man named Edmond Bordeaux Szekely discovered an ancient biblical manuscript from the Essenes, which he translated. The Essenes were nomadic people who lived around the Dead Sea at the time of Christ. It is said that they learned about the healing properties of various plants and herbs from Jesus himself. Szekely was so thrilled with the translation of the text that he formed an organization he called the Biogenic Society to promote the teaching of this ancient way of eating. The main teaching of the society was “Don't kill your food by cooking it.” and also that “… all grasses are good for man and wheatgrass is the perfect food for man.”

In early 1925, a professional named Dr. Charles Schnabel began to bring wheatgrass to scientists, medical doctors, and health practitioners, who helped it reach further acclaim in the media. Have you ever purchased a cut of meat or eggs from hens that were grass fed? It is because of Schnabel's work that we know grass-fed animals are healthier than grain-fed. Schnabel was so convinced of the health benefits of the grass that he fed it to his family for decades until his death. During that time, he swore that not one member of his family suffered any health adversities. Not even a single cavity!
