What is Wheatgrass water?
Wheatgrass water is made by stirring dried, powdered young wheat shoots into water. It is not a traditional drink in Turkey; it is more often found at juice bars and in health-food shops. Its flavour is grassy and distinctly green, sometimes with a mild bitterness, while the texture can be slightly pulpy depending on how much powder is mixed in. People usually drink it chilled on its own or add it to a smoothie.
Wheatgrass water is low in calories and is often valued for its vitamins, minerals and antioxidant content. For a gentler flavour, try it with lemon or blend it with apple or cucumber rather than adding sweetener. If you are new to it, start with a small glass to see how you like the taste.
