Wheatgrass Delivery or Pickup

The power food known as wheatgrass, simply the young leaves of the wheat plant, is used for food, drinks, and health supplements. Wheatgrass might also be found fresh or freeze-dried, and sometimes it is also found in lotions, gels, or capsules.

Far from the TV stereotypes, not everyone who consumes wheatgrass likes to grind it into a daily drink with a specialty mini-blender or grow it themselves to cut and juice daily. That being said, there are a lot of reasons to consume these young shoots. The health benefits of wheatgrass are plentiful, and it can be an effective addition to your weekly meal plan, smoothies, or even dips like salsa or guacamole.

Most commonly consumed as a fresh juice, considered to be "living juice," wheatgrass undeniably offers a wide array of healing benefits, including eliminating toxins and helping with digestion. Wheatgrass is a small, nutrient-dense dark green vegetable, the likes of which are usually loaded with healthy nutrients and are generally very good for you.

When putting together your Instacart weekly shopping items, you may aim for common smoothie ingredients like spinach, mango, pineapple, and your other favorites, but add a little wheatgrass into the mix. The flavor will be hard even to notice, and you'll be getting loads more nutrition. With the antioxidants, anti-inflammatory qualities, and antibacterial qualities that wheatgrass has to offer, it certainly couldn't hurt to try a recipe or two that uses this miracle grass.

Whether you're looking for wheatgrass as part of your smoothie regimen or as part of a cleanse, save yourself a trip to the store with Instacart and get your wheatgrass and other goods dropped off at your place in as little as 2 hours!

Ready wheatgrass is usually harvested from 5 to 8 inches in height. Any shorter than this, and the grass will be excessively sweet and not as nutritious, but any longer and the taste will become dull and bitter. They should also have been trimmed about a half-inch above the soil cleanly, which means no white parts or dirt. If you need fresh wheatgrass and can buy it still in its sprouting container, all the better.

As for storage, fresh wheatgrass, if properly cared for, should last around seven to ten days. Freshness is often the point of wheatgrass, so if you're buying it as produce, you generally should order it the day you need it. This makes it a perfect product for ordering on Instacart without wasting gas or time by having anyone drive to the store!

Some even swear by wheatgrass as the perfect hangover cure.

In addition, the enzymes in wheatgrass aid in digestion, breaking down nutrients, and helping to soothe problems like gas, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, and abdominal pain or discomfort. Other benefits of wheatgrass include lowering cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, improving brain function, and boosting immunity. Many people who use wheatgrass recommend it for obesity, diabetes, and arthritis to improve symptoms of these ailments.
