Bondi Wheatgrass

When Rhonda Boswell started harvesting wheatgrass seventeen years ago, she could not have imagined that her homegrown hobby would bloom into Bondi Wheatgrass, Australia’s first and largest wholesaler of premium, organic wheatgrass. Back then, wheatgrass was a scarcely known natural remedy – now, it’s a household name.

There are plenty of good reasons to introduce wheatgrass to your diet. Wheatgrass cells are jam-packed with oxygen which, when consumed, acts as a natural antioxidant and promotes clearer thinking. Scientists have isolated over 100 elements in wheatgrass, concluding that it is a complete food. Just 140 grams of fresh wheatgrass provides the nutritional equivalent of 3 kilos of vegetables.

Radiating energy and positivity, Rhonda is a walking testimony to the benefits of wheatgrass. She says, “A shot of wheatgrass each day keeps the doctor away. Fresh wheatgrass is so good for you – it’s a natural wonder, packed with nutrients, minerals and enzymes, and it’s extremely alkaline. My dream would be to see the whole planet on wheatgrass – it would be a much healthier world.”

From Rhonda’s personal interest in the health benefits of wheatgrass, a thriving empire has sprouted. If you have ever ordered wheatgrass in your juice at one of Sydney’s many, trendy juice bars, chances are that shot of green, chlorophyll-laden goodness was locally grown at Rhonda’s farm.

Bondi Wheatgrass grows their wheatgrass at Malabar by the sea in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. It is grown outdoors in the sunshine, in a totally organic environment. Trays can be delivered or purchased from the Malabar holding depot. This summer, look out for punnets of Bondi Wheatgrass at Harris Farm.
