Green Goddess Pesto
Wheatgrass is well established as a superfood and is known for its ability to help cleanse and detoxify the body, increase energy and vitality. This powder is a concentrated version of Wheat Grass and is rich in numerous phytonutrients, iron, calcium, magnesium, amino acids, vitamins A, C and E and chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a main component of wheatgrass and it also has twenty times the nutrients of other greens, with twice the beta-carotene of carrots. Needless to say, this super grass offers potent antioxidant properties.
This Green Goddess Pesto which features our Organic Wheatgrass Powder, is as tasty as it is nourishing! Whip it up this weekend and serve up with a side of whole wheat pasta, crackers, or pita bread.
