Wheatgrass

I love juicing veggies and fruit. So it only made sense that on my way to healthy living, one of my steps would be to juice wheatgrass. My first attempt to grow it went perfectly. Here's how I did it.


I bought about 3 cups of wheatgrass berries at my local Health Food store for $1.89. Pretty inexpensive when you buy from the bulk bins. And soaked them overnight in water.

Then I made a sprouting jar by cutting out a piece of window screen and holding it in place with a jar lid. This worked perfectly but for growing wheatgrass I've determined completely unnecessary. 

Then I added the berries to a seed starting tray full of "dirt".

Then you spray them with a water bottle and cover with newspaper to keep them moist and dark.

One day later it started sprouting.

Day 5 (harvest day)

My normal juicer is a centrifugal juicer and it won't juice wheatgrass so I bought a manual one that does. It was less than $50 and worked perfectly.

Just 1/3 of my seed tray made a 4 oz shot.
