FAQ
PINES Wheat Grass is the young wheat plant, grown under optimum conditions, carefully harvested at it’s nutritional maximum, dehydrated, and bottled for your convenience.
Of all the FAQs, we like responding to this one the most. That’s because for 40 years, Pines has worked hard to promote organic farming.
In the early 1980s, we helped write the organic standards for Kansas, that later were used as one of the models for the national standards. Pines was the first green superfood company to qualify to put the USDA Logo on our products. We have also now be approved to use the Non-GMO Project Verification on all our products. Our alfalfa was the first to pass genetic testing and is the only one in the marketplace to carry that logo.
PINES Wheat Grass Powder, Barley Grass Powder, Green Duo Powder, Mighty Greens, Alfalfa Powder and Beet Juice Powder contain 100% organic ingredients. PINES Wheat Grass Tablets, Barley Grass Tablets, and Alfalfa Tablets contain more than 98% organic ingredients with 1.5% silica, a naturally-occurring mineral compound, used to help the product flow through our tableting machine.
According to standards established by the US Food and Drug Administration, all PINES' products are gluten free, including PINES Wheat Grass. In fact, a wheat bread sandwich contains 74,285 times more gluten than a serving of PINES Wheat Grass.
Hundreds of private and government studies suggest that increased consumption of vegetables may reduce incidence of cancer and heart disease, and lead to fewer health problems across the board. However, if you are in among the 9 of every 10 people who fail to eat at least 3-5 servings of vegetables every day, you clearly could use a convenient source of greens.
PINES Wheat Grass is that source. In less than a minute a day and for about 25 cents, you can have a serving of a nutritious dark green vegetable. How is that possible? PINES Wheat Grass is nutritionally equivalent to a spinach salad, but much more concentrated.
Of all the FAQs, this might be the most important difference between PINES and the plethora of superfoods in plastic containers and packets. Plastic should NEVER be used for green superfoods.
For PINES Wheat Grass, Barley Grass, or Alfalfa:
7 tablets or 1-1/4 teaspoon of powder (3.5 grams) is the recommended serving size.
Our serving sizes are based on a 50 gram serving of spinach. Nutritionists recommend at least three servings of vegetables per day, especially dark green leafy ones like those from PINES. The benefits of eating your greens every day come from consistency over time. That’s why we emphasize the convenience of our products. Even if you don’t eat spinach every day, PINES products are convenient and economical ways to increase your vegetable nutrition.
The important point is that you eat plenty of greens every day. For some people, that means right away in the morning, or right before bed. That way you are sure to start or end your day on a healthy note.
