Growing the Perfect Foods

Perfectly wonderful!

There is no company that i love more, or am more indebted to than Perfect Foods, Inc. I have been ordering their amazing fresh products for almost 15 years now. I switched over to a vegan diet in 1998 for health reasons, and couldn’t have done it without them. For the first five years i drank plenty of their wheatgrass, which played a major role in restoring my health. I still drink wheatgrass, but have really focused on their incredible sunflower greens (sprouts). I’ve tried a few other sources over the years and there is simply no comparison. I know beyond a doubt that they are the best quality sunflower greens in the world. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in wheatgrass and other superfoods to try this miraculous food. I juice them every day and add them to salads.

I know that this company has fought hard to keep doing what they know is right and to keep providing people like myself with the best product they can. I am forever grateful to them. Lastly, i’d like to chime in about Cindy, the manager. She really is the best! She watches over us like a guardian angel, and is the heart of the company. Thank you for everything you’ve done. And thanks to all the other terrific folks who work to grow and deliver these health giving miracles to us.

Bless tou all!

Perfect Foods has the best wheatgrass seeds

Your wheatgrass seeds are the best! I’ve been growing wheatgrass for a few years now, and I usually have 4 trays growing at various stages of growth.  It’s an ongoing process that never ends, but we drink wheatgrass every single day!

It started with a single shot of wheatgrass one day many years ago, and I loved it from day one…It was sweet, refreshing and it provided a very rewarding feeling of healthy wellness, almost instantly, after drinking it!

Purchasing this juice from a health food store, which was juiced fresh right before my eyes, got to be expensive…Then, I bought an electric wheatgrass juicer and I started buying fresh-cut wheatgrass by the bag from the same store that was juicing it for me. This was less expensive than buying it by the shot, but still somewhat pricey…I wondered what was involved in growing wheatgrass from seed…During extensive internet research concerning growing my own wheatgrass for juicing, I kept seeing the name HARLEY MATSIL pop up everywhere.  It was clear that he was the authority on anything dealing with wheatgrass juice.  Then, I discovered that his own company, Perfect Foods, was the source of the bagged wheatgrass I was buying.  A quick visit to the Perfect Foods’ web site answered almost all of my questions on growing my own wheatgrass.  I did, however, have more questions, so I sent an email to Perfect Foods.  On a Saturday afternoon, shortly after my email to Perfect Foods, I received a telephone call from Harley and he answered all of my questions.  The following Monday morning, I ordered my first 50 pound sack of wheatgrass seeds and the rest is history…Thanks again, Harley!

What makes the best wheatgrass juicer?

Have you heard of wheatgrass, but found it too expensive to go to the store for it? Juicing wheatgrass at home can be an economical solution, but you’ll need two things. 1) Access to freshly grown wheatgrass, either by a supplier or grown at home and 2) A suitable wheatgrass juicer for your needs.

When choosing a juicer for wheatgrass, there are a few things you should ask yourself. Firstly, you should consider if you plan to juice all kinds of produce, or just wheatgrass. If you want to juice all kinds of produce, and only plan on juicing a few ounces at a time of wheatgrass, a multi-purpose juicer like the Omega 8006 Juicer is best. The Omega has the greatest range of fruits and vegetables which it can juice.

If, however, you already own a regular juicer or know you will be juicing larger amounts of wheatgrass (over 3 ounces) nearly every day, a dedicated electric wheatgrass juicer will be best. Yes there are manual wheatgrass juicers out there, but most people never use them. Manual wheatgrass juicers, while cheaper (50-100 dollars), are often difficult to use, and can damage your counter-tops. Electric wheatgrass juicers can range from 140-300 dollars, but you’ll actually use them.

Remember, never juice wheatgrass in a blender or centrifugal juicer. Wheatgrass must be juiced in a masticating (grinding) juicers, which uses augors, not blades. Because of wheatgrass’ fibrous nature, it quickly dulls blades of the other types of machines, and loses nutrients from the heat and high speeds of processing.

An affordable electric wheatgrass juicer was developed by Perfect Foods, the largest indoor wheatgrass growers in the world since 1982. The Dr. Squeeze Green Queen juicer is small, powerful, and very efficient at getting the most juice out of your wheat grass. Perfect Foods will cover parts under warranty for a year, and will provide you with one-on-one customer service in helping you use your machine. It is our opinion that the Dr. Squeeze – Green Queen is the Best Wheatgrass Juicer for use at home.

Commercial Wheatgrass Juicer

After many years of selling other company’s commercial wheatgrass juicers, we decided to develop our own. The Dr. Squeeze Wheatgrass King is THE MOST POWERFUL wheatgrass juicer. It juices quickly, has all stainless steel parts, and is virtually indestructable. As well, its far less costly than other similar machines like the Miracle MJ575. If you own a fast paced juice bar and really want to push your wheatgrass, you absolutely will want the Wheatgrass King Commercial Wheatgrass Juicer.

Green Queen - Home Model

This machine has a number of attributes which make it the perfect machine for anyone new to wheatgrass. Perfect Foods, which has been growing wheatgrass in New York since 1982, wanted to develop a small and affordable wheatgrass juicer for the masses. Most comparable juicers were of lesser power and higher cost. The Dr. Squeeze Green Queen is both counter-space saving and strong. It actually is one of the few machines able to juice over 6 ounces at one time without clogging or overheating. It also has a slow rotation speed, preventing oxidation and retaining the nutrients of the juice. Remember, this machine is designed as a wheatgrass juicer, not an “everything juicer”, and it is not recommended to try juicing most fruits or vegetables.
