Cerophyl Laboratories

Pines Wheat Grass replaced Cerophyl in the marketplace. Pines coined the term “green superfood’ nearly 50 years ago. Where Cerophyl was the world's first multivitamin made of 100% cereal grass and sold in pharmacies. Pines Wheat Grass, the first green superfood in the natural food marketplace sold as a nutrient-dense dark green leafy vegetable.

In the original research by Cerophyl, cereal grasses were found to be much more concentrated in nutrition that vegetables sold in grocery stores. In recent years, some products claim they are better because they have dozens of ingredients made up mostly of these same vegetables that were found to be lacking in nutritional concentration.

Having lots of ingredients may sound like a good idea until you realize that many are inexpensive fillers with limited nutritional content.. They are included to cut production costs.

Further, having so many ingredients, you consume only a tiny portion of each one. For example, the product may brag it contains mushrooms and broccoli, but the quantity in a serving is only equal to a small piece of one mushroom and a tiny chunk of a broccoli stalk.

You would save money and get hundreds of times more mushrooms and broccoli by buying them fresh in your store's produce department.

If you use a superfood blend, compare the nutrition facts panel and serving size with any product from Pines. You will find that purchasing our single ingredient nutrient-dense green superfoods direct from Cerophyl's farm provides much more nutrition per gram.

That means more servings per container at a lower cost per serving.
It makes more sense to purchase filler ingredients fresh at much less cost at your local grocery store.

Both Cerophyl and Pines are unique in growing all their own ingredients on our farm that first grew green superfoods for humans in 1931-32. Learn more at wheatgrass.com.

Established in 1976, Pines WheatGrass is the original organic green superfood. Never grown in trays, it's grown naturally outdoors in cold weather with deep roots.

See for yourself what adding cheap filler ingredients to nutrient-dense wheatgrass powder does to the color. Pines Wheat Grass is the original plant-based green superfood. It is 100% wheatgrass with NO FILLERS. You can add your own fillers!

It was the first product in the “greens category” for the natural food marketplace. It replaced the product "Cerophyl," which was the world's first multivitamin, sold in pharmacies starting in the 1930s. Since 1976, Pines' stated missions are to increase organic farming and provide economical and convenient, naturally-concentrated dark green vegetable nutrition sources.

Pines’ products are so nutrient-dense that seven tablets or a rounded teaspoon of powder are nutritionally-equivalent to a 50-gram spinach salad. Other greens copying our message often require three times as much for the same nutrition levels. The result is Pines has a lower cost per serving.

Pines is celebrating its 45th year in 2021. Our products are available in all quality-minded natural food stores. The product we replaced was Cerophyl, sold in pharmacies. Cerophyl began 90 years ago using the first wheatgrass grown on the farm used by Cerophyl Laboratories. Doctors and hospitals used Cerophyl for medical research praised by Ann Wigmore and other authors. Cerophyl is known as the world’s first multi-vitamin, supplying all the known vitamins using 100% cereal grass.

Like Cerophyl, Pines’ products are only sold in glass bottles with special metal caps to seal in an oxygen-free atmosphere. Without oxygen, nutrient levels remain high for five years or more. Products packaged in plastic tubs or packets have a limited shelf life.

This picture, of a wheatgrass field on our farm in Northeastern Kansas at 170 days of growth. The leaves are now nearly 3 inches long.

The snow is melting and providing rich glacial minerals and nutrients to roots that have grown more than a foot deep in world-famous glacial soils.

Soon the weather will become warmer, and these already dark green leaves will become even darker green. In another 30 days, the wheatgrass will grow to a height of 7 to 10 inches and be ready for the once-a-year harvest of Pines Wheat Grass.

During the depression, a scientist for Cerophyl Laboratories, Dr. Charles F. Schnabel, fed his children the dried powder of whole leaf young cereal grass. He documented their resulting excellent health.

Schnabel planted wheatgrass on our farm in the fall of 1931. After a winter of slow growth in often-freezing temperatures, the plant went from a couple of inches tall in the fall to nearly eight inches tall in the spring of 1932 when it reached its maximum nutrition.

His scientific team found that cereal grass powder harvested at that period contained many times more vitamins than grocery store vegetables. They called their product Cerophyl. It became known as the “world’s first multivitamin.”

Although it consisted of only the young grasses of cereal grains, it was so loaded with nutrition that it became a household word. Nearly every pharmacy carried it.

Dr. Schnabel sent Cerophyl to doctors and hospitals. The results were phenomenal. Nearly 40 years later, Ann Wigmore and other authors praised Schnabel’s research in books about wheatgrass.
One author called him “The Father of Wheatgrass.”

By 1960, synthetic vitamins had all but replaced Cerophyl. Pines brought it back in 1976 as Pines Wheat Grass, not as a multivitamin, but as a naturally-concentrated source of dark green, leafy vegetable nutrition that is missing from many diets.

Now 45 years later, dozens of products copy that message but apply it to products containing many of the veggies that scientists had shown contain only a fraction of cereal grass nutrition.

That’s why a 3.5 gram serving of Pines Wheat Grass contains more green food nutrition than a 9-to-12-gram serving of “green” blends that copy our message but not our nutritional density.

Never sold in plastic, Pines packages all products using the same oxygen-free, amber-glass bottles that Schnabel proved necessary to prevent the loss of valuable nutrients.

Instead of candy this Valentines Day, how about the gift of health for your loved ones?

Studies indicate that nearly 90% in today's society do not eat enough deep green, leafy vegetables. These foods are shown to be essential for maintaining good health and protection from degenerative disease.

Because consuming three or more servings of dark green leafy veggies such as kale or spinach is often difficult, Pines International introduced the world's first dehydrated in natural food stores 40 years ago, Since 1976, Pines' message has been to eat more greens using the naturally high nutrient concentration of wheatgrass for a convenient and economical way to increase your daily intake of dark green leafy vegetables. Seven Pines Wheat Brass tablets or one rounded teaspoon of powder supply as much nutrition as a large spinach or kale salad.

Certainly, you should eat plenty of spinach, kale and other dark green leafy vegetables. but to make sure you receive your three or more servings, include . It provides the kind of chlorophyll-rich wholefood vegetable nutrition and fiber that promote bacteria and healthy colon function. If you don't use the tablets, you can mix the powder in an infinite number of recipes, including , or water. If you need a sweeter mixture, try from Pines, which contains stevia, or if you prefer capsules over tablets, try . All are naturally-concentrated sources of the dark green leafy vegetables often missing from today's diets.

As the original company, Pines is the only one that grows, harvests and packages in accordance with the standards established in research promoted by Ann Wigmore in her books and by many other authors. In fact, Pines still grows on some of the same fields used by the scientiststo produce the for in that extensive body of research.

Pines also the only company that follows the 80-year old packaging standard of amber glass bottles with special metal caps so the company can remove the oxygen and prevent the devitalization and loss of color and nutrition that occurs with plastic tubs and paper packets.

Pines is available at leading stores or on line. Both their store locator and shopping cart are at wheatgrass.com. This Valentine Day, give the gift that truly says, "I LOVE YOU!"

1-1/2 cups cashew milk
2 scoops chocolate fudge vegan protein
1 tsp espresso powder
1 tbsp dutch cocoa
1-1/4 tsp Pines Organic from
1 tbsp coconut butter
1 cup frozen organic cherries

As always, :-)

This is another delicious smoothie recipe from CK Hall*. It is great as an energizing break in your fitness activity.

Also, if you have a hard time getting your children to eat their vegetables, recipes like this are a good way to get them to eat more green. You can also simply mix any of Pines' organic greens with organic chocolate syrup and milk (flax, coconut, cashew, almond, etc.) If Pines Green Superfoods are not available, order online (wheatgrass.com).

Pines' are also available in capsules and tablets for a very convenient and economical way to add more to your diet and as another way to get your kids to eat more greens.

When using superfood powders to fortify a smoothie or juice, it is best to source your ingredients separately so you can see and examine them. For example, with greens already mixed with chocolate powder, you do not know the color of the greens. With Pines' , you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness.

For 40 years Pines has grown and harvested organic naturally, outdoors, through often-freezing winter temperatures. They harvest at the special once-a-year jointing stage in the early spring when the grass is 7 to 10 inches tall.

Fig

All ingredients are certified

1-1/4 cup cashew milk
2 scoops chocolate fudge protein powder
1-1/4 Pines Wheat Grass powder from
3 frozen figs from TraderJoes
As always, :-)

Thanks to CK Hall* for the recipe! Certainly, you could make this without the figs and can use other kinds of milk, but this a beautiful way to add both figs and chocolate to your green drink, especially for kids who are picky eaters.

When using superfood powders, always source your ingredients separately to examine them. For example, with greens already mixed with chocolate powder, you do not know the color of the greens. With Pines' green foods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness.

Another way to get more green into picky kids is to let them off the hook if they will swallow a serving of tablets, Pines capsules or mix stevia-sweetened powder into a drink.

Pines is the only company using amber glass bottles with special metal caps so they can remove the oxygen from each bottle. Without oxygen, devitalization caused by plastic containers or paper packets cannot occur. Research dating back more than 80 years proves that the packaging used by Pines is the only kind that protects sensitive green food nutrients.

The nutritional value of poorly packaged products results in Pines providing much more nutrition per dollar spent. Pines can cost as little as 25 cents for a serving nutritionally equivalent to nearly $2 worth of spinach or kale.

For 40 years Pines has grown and harvested organic naturally, outdoors, through often-freezing winter temperatures. They harvest at the special once-a-year jointing stage in the early spring when the grass is 7 to 10 inches tall.
