Wheatgrass is a food prepared from the cotyledons of the common wheat plant, Triticum aestivum. It is sold either as a juice or powder concentrate. Wheatgrass differs from wheat malt in that it is served

freeze-dried or fresh, while wheat malt isconvectively dried. Wheatgrass is also allowed to grow longer than malt is. It provides chlorophyll, amino acids, minerals,vitamins, and enzymes. Claims about the

health benefits of wheatgrass range from providing supplemental nutrition to having unique curative

properties. Some consumers grow and juice wheatgrass in their homes. It is often available in juice bars, alone or in mixed fruit or vegetable drinks. It is also available in many health food stores as fresh produce, tablets, frozen juice andpowder. Wheatgrass contains no wheat gluten.

[/TABLE]

Proponents of wheatgrass make many claims for its health properties, ranging from promotion of general well-being to cancer prevention and heavy metal detoxification. These claims have not been satisfactorily

substantiated in the scientific literature.[SUP][1][/SUP]There is some limited evidence of beneficial pharmacological effects from chlorophyll, though this does not necessarily apply to dietary chlorophyll.[SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP]
There are a number of other small studies and pilots on the possible benefits of wheatgrass juice. According to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center,[SUP][7][/SUP] there may be a need for further study of wheatgrass therapy for

ulcerative collitis; they cite a small pilot study which showed regular wheatgrass juice therapy significantly reduced rectal bleeding and overall disease activity.[SUP][8][/SUP]
It has been claimed that wheatgrass helps blood flow, digestion and general detoxification of the body. These claims have not been reliably substantiated. However, in one pilot study of children with thalassemia (a

hereditary form of anemia which often requires blood transfusions), of the patients who were given 100 ml of wheatgrass juice daily, half showed reduced need for transfusions. No adverse effects were observed.[SUP][9][/SUP] Another small study of transfusion-dependent patients suffering frommyelodysplastic syndrome responded

similarly to wheatgrass therapy; that is, the intervals between needed transfusions were increased. In addition, the chelation effect (removal of heavy metals from the blood) was studied for the same patients; the wheatgrass therapy showed a significant iron chelation effect.[SUP][10][/SUP]
In another pilot, which was not placebo controlled, breast cancer patients who drank wheatgrass juice daily showed a decreased need for blood- and bone marrow-building medications during chemotherapy, without diminishing the effects of the

therapy.[SUP][11][/SUP]
The food has demonstrated in vitro cytotoxicity to HL-60 (Human promyelocytic leukemia cells).[SUP][12][/SUP]
Nutritional content

Wheatgrass proponent Schnabel claimed in the 1940s that "fifteenpounds of wheatgrass is equal in overall nutritional value to 350 pounds of ordinary garden vegetables",[SUP][2][/SUP] a ratio of 1:23.[SUP][3][/SUP] Despite claims of vitamin and mineral content disproportional to

other vegetables, the nutrient content of wheatgrass juice is roughly equivalent to that of common vegetables (see table 1).
Wheatgrass is also claimed to be superior to other vegetables in its content ofvitamin B[SUB]12[/SUB], a vital nutrient.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] Contrary

to popular belief, B[SUB]12[/SUB] is not contained within wheat grass or any vegetable, rather it is abyproduct of the microorganisms living on plants.[SUP][13][/SUP] Analysis of B[SUB]12[/SUB] content in wheatgrass has confirmed that it contains negligible amounts of the compound.[SUP][14][/SUP]

Detoxification

Another common claim for wheatgrass is that it promotes detoxification. The limited data in support of that claim applies to most green vegetables.[SUP][15][/SUP]

Mmea Wenye Manufaa Nyingi NYASI​
​

Nyasi ndiyo mimea inayopatikana kwa wingi zaidi, na vilevile ina manufaa nyingi zaidi kati ya mimea yote inayochanua maua duniani. Mtaalamu mmoja wa mimea alisema kwamba nyasi ndiyo chanzo cha chakula chetu. Hiyo ‘huzuia wanadamu wasife njaa.’ Jaribu kukumbuka chakula ulichokula leo. Je, ulianza siku kwa bakuli la uji wa wimbi, wali, oat, au mtama? Ikiwa ndivyo, ulikula mbegu ya nyasi aina fulani. Ama pengine ulikula aina fulani ya mkate. Unga uliotumiwa kutengeneza mkate huo ulitokana na mbegu za ngano, shayiri, au mbegu nyingine za nafaka, na zote ni aina za nyasi. Vilevile vyakula vyote vinavyotengenezwa kwa unga wa mahindi kama vile ugali au sima, chapati, na vitinda-mlo mbalimbali. Ndiyo, mahindi ni aina ya nyasi pia. Je, uliongeza sukari katika kahawa au chai yako? Zaidi ya nusu ya sukari yote hutokana na miwa ambayo ni aina ya nyasi. Hata maziwa na jibini ni bidhaa zinazotokana na nyasi kwa njia fulani, kwani ng’ombe, kondoo, na mbuzi ambao hutoa maziwa hula nyasi.

Namna gani chakula chako cha mchana? Tambi na piza zinatengenezwa kwa unga wa ngano. Kuku na ndege wengine hula nafaka. Ng’ombe hulishwa aina nyingi za nyasi. Kwa hiyo, mayai, nyama ya ndege, na ya ng’ombe, hutokana kwa kadiri kubwa na nyasi ambazo mnyama hula. Pia, vinywaji vingi vinatokana na nyasi. Mbali na maziwa, vileo vya aina nyingi hutengenezwa kutokana na nyasi: pombe, wiski, rum, sake, kvass, na aina fulani za vodka.

Ikiwa chakula unachokipenda hakikutajwa hapo juu, usijali kwa kuwa haiwezekani kutaja vyakula vyote vinavyotokana na nyasi. Kulingana na makadirio fulani, zaidi ya nusu ya nishati zinazotokana na kula chakula ulimwenguni pote hupatikana kutoka kwa aina fulani ya nyasi. Na si ajabu, kwa kuwa nyasi inakua kwenye asilimia 70 ya eneo lote la dunia iliyolimwa!

Hata hivyo, nyasi ina matumizi mengine mbali na chakula. Iwapo nyumba yako ina kuta za udongo, na kuezekwa kwa mabua, basi imetengenezwa kwa nyasi. Katika sehemu mbalimbali za ulimwengu, paa huezekwa kwa nyasi. Huko Kusini-Mashariki mwa Asia mianzi hutumiwa kujenga nguzo za kukanyagia wakati wa ujenzi, mabomba ya maji, fanicha, kuta na matumizi mengine mengi. Mikeka na vikapu hushonwa kwa nyasi, na hutumiwa kutengeneza gundi na karatasi. Na usisahau mavazi unayovalia. Wanyama wengi wanaotoa manyoya na ngozi hula nyasi. Aina ya nyasi inayoitwa Arundo donax inatumiwa kutengeneza ala za muziki zinazopulizwa, kama zumari. Hakuna vifaa vingine ambavyo vimepatikana vinavyotumiwa kwa kazi hiyo kama nyuzi hizo za asili.

Nyasi hupamba na kuremba sehemu kubwa ya dunia yetu. Na inafurahisha kama nini kuona konde lenye nyasi msituni au uwanja maridadi uliofyekwa vizuri! Kwa kuwa nyasi zinatoa majani mengi sana, zinatoa kiasi kikubwa cha oksijeni. Mizizi yake iliyo kama nyuzi huzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo. Tunapofikiria manufaa zake nyingi, hatushangai kwamba matumizi na kilimo cha nyasi kina historia ndefu.

Historia ya Nyasi​
​

Nyasi imetajwa kwa mara ya kwanza katika masimulizi ya uumbaji ya Biblia. Katika siku ya tatu ya uumbaji, Mungu alisema hivi: “Nchi na itoe majani.” (Mwanzo 1:11)* Katika lugha ya awali neno lililotafsiriwa ‘majani’ hapa linamaanisha ‘nyasi.’ Jamii zote zimetegemea aina fulani ya nyasi. Kwa mfano, chakula muhimu cha Wamisri, Wagiriki, na Waroma kilikuwa ngano na shayiri; Wachina walikula wimbi na wali; watu wa Indus walikula ngano, shayiri, na wimbi; na Wamaya, Waazteki, na Wainka, walikula mahindi. Maeneo makubwa ambako aina za nyasi zilikua yalitumiwa kulisha farasi za kivita za Wamongoli. Ndiyo, tangu zamani nyasi zimekuwa na manufaa nyingi kwa wanadamu.

Wakati utakapoona shamba la mahindi, uwanja ulio na nyasi nzuri, ama majani machache tu ya nyasi yakikua katikati ya mawe katika kijia, tua na uifikirie mimea hii ya ajabu yenye manufaa nyingi. Hata huenda ukachochewa kumshukuru Mbuni wake Mkuu, Yehova Mungu, kama alivyofanya mtunga-zaburi alipoimba hivi: “Wewe, BWANA Mungu wangu, umejifanya mkuu sana. . . . Huyameesha majani [“nyasi,” NW] kwa makundi, na maboga kwa matumizi ya mwanadamu, ili atoe chakula katika nchi. . . umhimidi Bwana.”—Zaburi 104:1, 14, 31-35.
 
In short? Upatikanaji wake? Ama I just bend and mow the loan with my teeth.

Mkuu Boflo mimi sipo Bongo nitajuaje upatikanaji wake huko nyumbani Tanzania? Samahani.

Sio lazima uweko...watu wanatumia mtandao kutafuta upatikanaji...Labda utaniuliza kwa nn nisitafute mwenyewe? Sababu mm sina utaalam kama wako wa tiba za asili

Na upatikanaji ni popote duniani sio lazima bongo
