Grass clippings you pay $7 to drink because 'juice' sounds healthier than 'lawn'.
means The young, deep-green shoots of the wheat plant, harvested before any grain forms and typically juiced or ground into powder for drinking.
from Straightforward compound of 'wheat' (from Old English hwǣte, related to 'white,' likely a nod to the pale color of the flour) and 'grass' (Old English græs, an ancient word shared across Germanic languages). The wheatgrass-as-health-tonic craze traces to the 1930s, when agricultural chemist Charles Schnabel began promoting dried wheatgrass as a supplement, later popularized further by raw-food advocate Ann Wigmore in the mid-20th century — the juicing itself is a modern wellness ritual, not an ancient one.
