Wheatgrass juice is catching on across the United States for its healthful properties— from its vitamins, minerals, enzymes and chlorophyll to its antioxidants and disease-preventing phytochemicals. But Perfect Foods Inc. has kept New Yorkers ahead of the health curve for decades, says Aaron Matsil, marketing coordinator for the longtime NYC business.

“This is not just some short-lived health fad,” he says. “Perfect Foods has been growing and delivering organic wheatgrass to thousands of New York juice bars and consumers’ homes for over 30 years. The customers keep coming back and spreading the word because this is the real deal.”

Matsil says wheatgrass and other Perfect Foods greens like sunflower, snow pea and buckwheat sprouts are deep green, leafy and extraordinarily nutritious; when added to a regular diet, they help the body repair and heal. “Some say drinking one ounce of wheatgrass is equivalent to eating a two-and-a-half-pound salad,” he says. “Most people get a daily shot at the local juice bar, but to save money—or just for fun—you can consider juicing or growing wheatgrass right in your kitchen.”
