5.0 out of 5 stars Power Food, September 24, 2001

By	marika sboros (Johannesburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews

Wheatgrass: Superfood for a New Millennium by Li Smith (Vital Health Publishing) - a small book, big on well-researched, well-illustrated content, refreshingly easy to read. The author takes a comprehensive look at the amazingly regenerative, healing powers of freshly squeezed wheatgrass juice, delving into its history and folk-lore applications through the ages to modern times. Smith tells readers how to grow the grass from scratch (it couldn't be more simple), how to extract the juice correctly to retain all its inherent powerhouse propertes, and how best to use it as an instant super-boost for optimum health.
The book is essential reading for anyone seriously concerned with looking and feeling better, not older, as the years go by. -Marika Sboros, Lifestyle Editor, The Star, Johannesburg, South Africa.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wheatgrass, a fresh look at Nutrition and Life, September 29, 2001

By A Customer

Ostensibly about nutrition and the special properties of wheatgrass, this book manages to transmit an enormous respect and love for life and nature. Writing in an anecdotal style the author's passion, verve and humour bubble out of the pages of this book. Lovely illustrations add to a joyful read packed with great advice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raw Food Allergy Help, July 19, 2005

By	Heather Flournoy "'Healthy Mother'" (Ridgefield, CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I especially like the detailed instructions for sprouting things like alfalfa and chick peas and sunflower seeds, and the use of things I don't usually think of right away, like rosemary flowers to flavor juiced vegetables. It also has instructions for making your own tinctures and healing oils, such as a wheatgrass oil for healing scars!
