Lately, a new grass has been discovered to be beneficial to our health- the Wheatgrass. It has all the b-vitamins and minerals one need for one’s body.

No wonder, the animals like cows, sheeps, dears, goats, carabao feed on grass giving them the strength they need not to live but to produce pure natural nutritious milk for their babies.
