How they got started: They started out of a garage (well it was really a dining room table) in August of 2002 in San Francisco, California. Just two guys with a desire to build a 'grass' roots business that aligned with our passion for the outdoors and a healthy lifestyle.
They had each spent 7 years at large telecom companies and met 4 years ago at a start-up telecom company that was trying to break the bandwidth bottleneck, but ended up going broke instead. Working in a start up environment, they witnessed first hand the effect 17 hour work days, lack of exercise and poor eating habits had on many of their colleagues. Constantly hearing people say "I'm exhausted", "I'm sick" and "I need to get in better shape" seemed to be directly related to stress and diet.
Todd noticed that Brandon seemed immune from the common cold and the contagious mid-afternoon yawn. Brandon's thumb is the furthest shade from green, but luckily his uncle has continued to run the family dehydrating business that his Grandfather started over 50 years ago. Brandon swore the wheat grass he'd been taking gave him more energy, a stronger immune system and an overall healthier life. He gave some to Todd along with a great book by Ron Seibel called Cereal Grass, What's in it for you. Within weeks, Todd was a big believer.he developed increased energy throughout the day and saw his need for sleep decrease. In fact, Todd has eluded everything including the common cold since taking wheat grass. Brandon had a long list of friends that were hooked on wheat grass and would often call or stop by when they ran out. His freezer was being raided on a daily basis. (I know this sounds like a scene from Cops, but I swear it was just wheat grass.)
With the help of a college marketing class at Cal Poly SLO, their wives, families and friends, Todd and Brandon started Amazing Grass.
It is their passion to educate the world about the benefits of cereal grass, green foods and the improved quality of life from eating healthy. It is their goal to always listen to customers and constantly improve what they do. Both pledge to produce the healthiest products that offer real benefits at prices everyone can afford. It's an amazing adventure to grow this business to reflect our dreams, passions and beliefs.

One timeless phrase will sum up many of our responses."You are what you eat." Eat Grass. Get Healthy!!!
After looking around on the site I gotta say, I was more than excited to try some products I was ready for more energy, a better immune system and something to aid in digestion. When the package arrived I opened it to find a few packs of amazing meal. Chocolate is my favorite so I was happy to see that flavor. I really liked the "original" flavor as well.
You know me and smoothie's so it should be no surprise that this happened soon after the box was opened....

For the majority of people, consuming processed foods along with stresses of every day life create an acidic balance in the blood. This causes the body to store water and build up fat in the arteries (cholesterol) as protection from acidic blood.
By restoring alkalinity and neutralizing acid production your body can recover quicker, metabolize faster, reduce food cravings and achieve your optimal health. Click pH levelto review the chart. Wheat grass is believed to have many unexplained natural healing qualities. Many of the phytonutrients (plant nutrients) contained in cereal grasses have yet to be identified and it is not completely known how they provide such great benefits to our health. We do know that cereal grasses contain large amounts of chlorophyll (the "blood" of plants), which is amazingly similar to hemoglobin, the molecule that carries oxygen in the blood.
Chlorophyll is soluble in fat particles, and since fat particles are absorbed directly in to the blood via the lymphatic system, there is evidence that chlorophyll can also be absorbed easily in this way. Essentially the "blood" of plants is easily absorbed into human blood, which transports nutrients efficiently to every cell of the body.This explains why chlorophyll is so readily assimilated into our blood stream and our bodies are able to utilize its powerful properties. With the addition of Chlorophyll into our diet, we are consuming the very essence of life's energy. Essentially the "blood" of plants is absorbed into human blood, which transports nutrients to every cell of the body
Wow, right? I knew that something good had to be going on to make me notice so quickly! Here is the Jar of wheat grass that they sent me! I love,love,love to add this to my smoothie's or even just mix with water and have a "wheat grass shot". When my sis and I went to San Francisco, I introduced her to wheat grass and you would have thought we were freaks! Every single day we would go to this juice bar and say "double shot of wheat grass please."
It was hilarious, throwing back wheat grass shots and smiling from ear to ear. Sometimes we went back several times! It was like anytime we were starting to feel tired we yelped "time for a wheat grass shot." I will say this. Amazing grass has the highest quality wheat grass that I have tasted, I swear it tastes like the fresh juice that you would get at the juice bar.
