Sprouted Wheatgrass

Wheatgrass is one of nature’s superfoods. Like all plants wheatgrass is a source of fibre which contributes to digestive health. Fibre is a source of food for beneficial bacteria, assisting in improving stool quality and decreasing symptoms associated with digestive dysfunction such as gas, bloating and flatulence.

Wheatgrass contains iron, calcium, magnesium, 17 amino acids, vitamins A, C, E, K, as well as B complex vitamins. It is a source of chlorophyll as well as beneficial enzymes and all these nutrients combine to provide a powerhouse of antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

In addition to these actions in the body, wheatgrass helps with normal detoxification processes to promote general health and wellbeing as well as healthy ageing.

Wheatgrass also helps the immune system function optimally as well as assisting in heart health and brain function.

Added to all Big Dog recipes in species-appropriate amounts, our wheatgrass is finely minced to unlock all of this goodness. This is because our pets lack the digestive enzymes to break down plants to access their nutrition. Mincing these ingredients allows our pets to benefit from the nutritional and antioxidant properties of these highly nutritive and beneficial ingredients.
