Wheatgrass, the stuff that Dreams are made out of
Wheatgrass, the stuff that dreams are made out of. God is in the grass; wheatgrass. Eating that which eats the grass is what nightmares are made out of. Whether you eat it as it's early "grass" form, or after it matures into a "wheat stalk", it is very safe and very healthy for you to eat. Do not judge a book by it's cover, Wheatgrass contains a plethora of valuable nutrients, and is undoubtedly considered as one of the (if not the most) finest plants found in nature. Either for it's ease in growing, abundance, and/or it's burst of nutrients contained within it. Wheatgrass can end World Hunger.

Here is some information on Wheatgrass, provided by a "Steve Meyerowitz", Wheatgrass Natures Finest Medicine:
Chlorophyll
Wheatgrass is one of the richest, most natural sources of chlorophyll. The "blood" of plants is said to be useful as an anti-inflammatory, purification, and renewal. The anti-inflammatory part of chlorophyll called Superoxide Dismutase plays a vital role in reducing inflammations throughout the body. The purification attributes stop the growth of bacteria in wounds, eliminates odors of the body, bad breath, and removes chemicals from your body through detoxification. The renewal and rebuilder of blood is due to the similarity of chlorophyll to hemoglobin. They are virtually identical, with the exception of the central atom. Chloroform contains magnesium in the central atom, and hemoglobin contains iron.
Beta Carotene
Beta Carotene consumes most of the carotene found in green plants. Beta Carotene is an excellent source of Vitamin A, which is useful towards strengthening your immune system which reduces your chance of infection. Vitamin A is an important aspect of a functionally correct metabolism, it is said to enhance the production of RNA which is essential to renewal, protects your body from viruses, builds and repairs bones, strengthens skin and nails, and strengthens mucus membranes. Too much Vitamin A from animals (retin) may be [is] toxic, your body stores any amount of vitamin from plants (beta carotene) until is is needed.
Protein
With the way animals are raised today, it is important to have a healthy consistent source of protein. Wheatgrass contains 20-25% protein, (Meat [Murdered Flesh] has 17% and Eggs [Bird Babies/Fetuses] have 12% [Though "Meat" (Murdered Flesh) and "Eggs" (Babies/Fetuses) do not have a purpose as food (maggots are without harming/killing ability and play a role in breaking down the dead upon their natural death), and are truly more a "con-tein" rather than a "protein", as it truly only leads to heavy losses in the life of the consumer, rather than a gain]). Protein in grass is in the form of poly-peptides, shorter and simpler chains of amino acids which are deposited more efficiently into the bloodstream and blood tissues. Protein is essential to build and repair tissues, and is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.
Detoxification
Wheat grass contains enzymes which digest the toxins in your body. The toxins accumulated in your body are from foods not able to rid or digest themselves. Superoxide Disumates (SOD) and P4d1 are part of the digestive enzyme that play vital roles in slowing the cell deterioration process thus slowing the aging process. P4D1 also serves as an anti-inflammatory. Using wheatgrass you will experience a cleansing process, don't panic, this means it's working!
