Grass: Nutritional Information?

[tommatthews]

Well i'm actually a designer, but in need of an answer to this question. What is the Nutritional Information for grass? Just your everyday grass. The one on the ground. I need the kind of stuff you get on the back of food packaging -

Carbs, protein, fibre, fat, sugars...

In fact, these:

Calories

Fat

Saturated Fat

Cholestoral

Sodium

Carbohydrates

Fibre

Sugars

Protein

 

I'm not expecting much feedback, but any help would be much appreciated.

The best way to find out is to get information from the only people who eat grass. Farmers need to know this stuff if thats what they feed their cows.

 

I can assue you that they'll be virtually no fat , but a lot of fibre.

[tommatthews]

yeah i knew theres no fat, lots of fibre. thanks about the farmer thing though, didn't think about that.

Go to google and type in "wheatgrass", it's not digestable (in humans), but when juiced and drank, it's one of the most powerful vegetables known. It's said to contain every element knowh to mankind.

 

Ann Whigmore <sp> wrote a book on the stuff, she claimed it cured her of cancer. The more you read about wheatgrass, the more amazing it seems to be.

 

I used to juice the stuff, drank 2 OZ per day, but got tired of buying it.

Thanks but i need the info for normal ground grass.

Also, i know that 1g of protien and 1g of carbs each equate to 4 calories, but is the same for a gram of fibre?

There are no calories in fiber, since by definition it is undigestible, therefore not providing any energy or nutrients. It just makes everything run a little more smoothly...

[tommatthews]

thanks. anyone got any more info?

I'm sure you got tired of the taste, too. That stuff is strong.
