Cereal Grasses
 
Cereal grasses (wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa grass and oat grass) have been used as human food supplements since the 1930's. Scientists originally studied these plants as sources of blood-building factors. When, in 1931, it was observed that the nutritional level of milk fell when cows did not consume young green leaves, systematic research began on the health benefits of cereal grasses.
 
As essential nutrients were isolated and identified, the cereal grasses were found to be excellent sources of beta-carotene, vitamin K, folic acid, calcium, iron, protein, and fiber, as well as good sources of vitamin C and many of the B vitamins. In addition, the cereal grasses were shown to contain unidentified factors that provide a variety of health, growth, and fertility benefits to animals and to humans.
 
Laboratory research on the health benefits of cereal grasses increased over the past two decades in the United States and Japan. At the same time, the use of wheat grass as an alternative therapy for chronic diseases became popular. These two movements, together with the increased availability of suitably prepared American-grown cereal grass, have been responsible for a renaissance in the use of cereal grasses as human foods.


Algae
 
Spirulina
This tiny aquatic plant offers 60% all-vegetable protein, essential vitamins and phytonutrients such as the antioxidant beta-carotene, the rare essential fatty acid GLA, sulfolipids, glycolipids and polysaccharides.
 
Its deep green color comes from its rainbow of natural pigments - chlorophyll (green), phycocyanin (blue) and carotenoids (orange) - that harvest the sun's energy. Easy-to-digest so nutrients are absorbed quickly.

Chlorella
Chlorella contains more chlorophyll per gram than any other plant. Chlorophyll is one of the greatest food substances for cleansing the bowel and other elimination systems, such as the liver and the blood.
 
Green algae are the highest sources of chlorophyll in the plant world. And of all the green algae studied so far, chlorella has the highest, often ranging from 3 to 5% pure natural chlorophyll.
