Perfect Food Q & A

What are super green foods and why do I need them?
What are the effects of not eating enough vegetables and greens?
If I'm already taking a vitamin supplement, why do I need Perfect Food? supplements?
What makes your Perfect Food formula better than other super green food formulas?

What are super green foods and why do I need them?
Super green foods are derived from young cereal grasses such as wheat, barley, rye, oats and alfalfa, as well as spirulina, chlorella, kelp, dulse and other sea vegetables. Perhaps the most nutrient-dense foods on earth, these grasses are richer in nutrients than spinach, broccoli, eggs and chicken in virtually all categories including protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, carotenoids and vitamin E.

Super green foods are the only foods in the vegetable kingdom that enable animals to continually maintain their weight, strength and optimal health even if consumed alone. They abound in unidentified growth factors, powerful antioxidants, immune boosters and many other health enhancing nutrients.

What are the effects of not eating enough vegetables and greens?
Surprisingly, malnutrition can occur even if your body is only deficient in a single vitamin. Malnutrition means you're not getting enough nutrients as a result of an inadequate or unbalanced diet or because of digestive or absorption difficulties. Symptoms of malnutrition include lack of energy, irritability, a weakened immune system leading to frequent colds or allergies, and mineral depletion that can trigger a variety of health concerns including anemia.

If I'm already taking a vitamin supplement, why do I need Perfect Food? supplements?
The whole foods found in Perfect Food provide vitamins and minerals as nature intended, with all the naturally occurring co-factors and synergistic compounds intact. They contain hundreds, and possibly thousands, of nutrients that cannot be isolated and put into a vitamin and mineral supplement.

Whole foods and their concentrates contain complete nutritional complexes the body recognizes and assimilates according to what it needs--a process called "selective absorption." In contrast, most vitamin and mineral supplements are made from fractionated, isolated or synthetic sources that can potentially create an environment of biochemical imbalances and toxicities.
For optimal health, there's nothing better or more compatible to the human body than nutrient-rich, unprocessed whole foods in their balanced, natural state, like those found in Perfect Food.

What makes your Perfect Food formula better than other super green food formulas?
Compared to competitors' formulas, our Perfect Food formula delivers the highest amount of concentrated, absorbable green foods. Serving for serving, Perfect Food supplements are unmatched in nutrient-rich whole food quality and quantity.

Perfect Food Original Suggested Use
Adults mix heapiing tablespoons in 8 ounces of water or juice 1 (or more) times per day. May be taken with or without food. Children may take 1/4 to 1/2 of the adult serving.

Green Superfood Supplements: Cereal Grasses

Nearly every major health organization recommends eating five to nine servings of fruit and vegetables per day to maintain health. Yet, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, less than nine percent of American adults consume the recommended number of servings. 

Green foods, commonly termed “super foods” due to their high nutritional content and tremendous amount of phytonutrients, consist of micro-algae, cereal grasses, land plants, green vegetables, and seaweed. One of the greatest food substances for cleansing elimination systems such as the bowel, as well as, the liver and blood is chlorophyll, which is found in all green vegetables, especially the green, leafy vegetables. The two most commonly used green foods are cereal grasses and micro-algae.

Cereal grass has been around for thousands of years, and although human consumption of cereal grasses has increased dramatically in the last few decades, most people don’t have any idea what cereal grass really is, and, are unclear as to what role cereal grasses play in a healthy diet. In fact, many people may even be suspicious of anything labeled with the word “grass” as a commodity for human consumption. However, bottled, dehydrated, cereal grass has been a food supplement for people in the United States since the early 1930’s.

In order to explain cereal grasses, let’s start with wheat grass. Wheat grass is, as the name suggests, the young grass stage of the wheat plant. Given soil, air, sunshine, and water, and left to its own devices, wheat grass grows into wheat, the familiar amber waves of grain. In its youth, wheat is a very dark green, leafy plant. Another cereal grass is barley grass, the young grass stage of the barley plant. Other cereal grasses include rye grass and oat grass. All young cereal grasses look, smell, feel, taste, and, most importantly (from a nutrition standpoint), have the nutrient and chemical makeup of green leafy vegetables rather than of cereal grains.

Nutritionally, cereal grass is similar to a number of other dark green vegetables, and when the cereal plant is young, it looks something like familiar lawn and field grasses. It is leafy and has a deep green color. For more than seventy years, researchers have known that the cereal plant at this young green stage contains many times the level of vitamins, minerals, and proteins found in the seed kernel, or grain product of the mature cereal plant.

All Cereal Grasses are Nutritionally Identical

The taste of young cereal grass leaves varies slightly with the species of cereal plant, from quite sweet (rye grass) to slightly bitter (barley grass), but the nutrient content of these grasses varies only with their stage of growth and growing conditions, rather than with the species of cereal grains.

The young germinated cereal grass plant is a factory of enzyme and growth activity. Photosynthesis in the young green leaves produces simple sugars which are transformed into proteins, carbohydrates, and fats by the actions of numerous enzymes and substrates which were themselves produced from the plant sugars and minerals provided by the soil.

The nutrients found in young green cereal plants vary with the stage of growth, rather than with the age or height of the plant. Chlorophyll, protein, and most of the vitamins found in cereal grasses reach their peak concentrations in the period just prior to the jointing stage of the green plant. The jointing stage is that point at which the internodal tissue in the grass leaf begins to elongate, forming a stem. Cereal grasses of the wheat or barley plant that are consumed as food supplements should be harvested precisely during this stage, which lasts for only a few days.

Grass Juice Powder vs. Whole Leaf Powders

Whole leaf powders are made by taking the cereal grass and dehydrating it. The dehydrated cereal grass is then ground into a fine powder; a quick and inexpensive process. Grass juice powders are made by taking the cereal grasses and juicing them. The juice is then allowed to dry into a fine powder, retaining the benefits of the juice itself; a time intensive and more expensive alternative to simply grinding up a whole leaf powder.

Garden of Life believes that juicing cereal grasses in its green superfood supplements provides more nutritional benefit. When cereal grass is juiced, as opposed to dried and ground up, the resulting juice is packed with most of the nutrients available in the grass. Once this juice is low temperature dried, the resulting powder is much more densely packed with water soluble nutrients such as B-vitamins and folic acid than the same amount of whole leaf powder. Additionally, juicing the cereal grasses allows for quicker and easier assimilation of nutrients by the body.

Spirulina, chlorella, and dunaliella (red algae) are micro-algae. These aquatic “super foods” provide many of the nutrients the body needs. Chlorella contains an enormous amount of readily available chlorophyll, protein, carbohydrates, most of the B vitamins, Vitamins C and E, amino acids, and additional rare trace minerals.
Green juices contain cholorphyll, enzymes, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, and sodium, as well as, provitamin A, B-complex vitamins, and Vitamins C, E, and K. One of the great advantages of cholorphyll-rich juices is their cleansing effect on the bowel and other elimination systems. It’s no wonder chlorophyll has been called a “natural deodorizer.” A clean body is an efficient body; a body that digests well, assimilates well, and is full of energy and vigor.
