Priya Mann's chemical-free wheatgrass

You’ve overdone it again, haven’t you? The fried food. And the mithai. Just like last Diwali.

What you need is a healthy energy shot. Try wheatgrass juice. Proponents claim that an ounce of wheatgrass juice has as much vitamins as 1.5 kg of green leafy veggies. And, no, you don’t need to grow it yourself – get it from Priya Mann.

Mann has been growing wheatgrass for her family and friends for years, and their overwhelming demand recently convinced her to go commercial. Her wheatgrass is pesticide free – instead she uses natural tricks like neem leaves to keep the insects away. And she waters her plants with chemical-free tube well water.

Mann grows wheatgrass in individual plastic packets that each serve up a single dose of one tablespoon of juice. Just cut the wheatgrass one inch above the soil, juice it using an electrical or manual juicer, hold your nose and drink.

Bottoms up!
