Pigments make PINES is the Greenest Super Food and Thus the Most Potent
The Vibrancy of the Pigments Indicate the Antioxidant Qualities
Just because a green super food blend claims to contain wheatgrass powder doesn't mean the wheatgrass compares favorably to Pines. Pines harvests at just the right time, which is earlier than growers who want larger yields. Our quality has remained unsurpassed since we brought wheatgrass into the national consciousness in 1976. Although you could pay for a lab analysis on all eight powders in the picture, it is not be necessary. A vibrant green color indicates quality. You can easily see which one of the eight powders has the highest antioxidant value. The vibrancy of the pigments makes it clear that Pines has much more food value. Chlorophyll is one of the green pigments in leafy vegetables. It is chlorophyll that provides most of the antioxidant value in veggies. The deeper and more vibrant the green color, the more antioxidants are in the vegetable. In the picture above, Pines Wheat Grass is the vibrant green one. The other seven samples are all popular products that claim to be as good as Pines Wheat Grass. The other seven colors are not as bright green as Pines. That's because the grower waited too long to harvest and/or packaged in plastic tubs or packets. Products packaged inappropriately quickly lose value.Packing in Plastic Shows a Lack of Concern for Quality

A serving of Pines Wheat Grass is equal nutritionally to a $1.33 serving of spinach. Yet, it can cost as little as 25 cents. Thus, Pines Wheat Grass and other Pines' products are great values . They are less expensive and more effective ways to can help increase the green in diet We can and should recycle plastic tubs, but most consumers don't recycle. Thus, when we support the success of these companies, we contribute to the plastic pollution by those who don't recycle.
