Guest guest Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Actually, you juice it, Carolyn, and with a juicer that usually looks a lot like a meat grinder Grasses on their own are indigestible, and getting the juice out of them by eating them is almost impossible you have to chew on them and spit out the cellulose. Google wheat grass juicer, and you'll see what I mean.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 No. But, then, maybe you don't need wheatgrass juice. It takes a macerating juicer to break the cell walls.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'll try that. We have a good sized Whole Foods store about 30-45 min. away in 2 directions. There is also a natural vitamin store that one friend likes to go to and she gets a number of organic items there rather than whole foods as it is cheaper. I may try that. Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Monday, May 7, 2012 4:20 AM Subject: Re: baby blanket vs Sure to Grow mats  You may find some in a whole foods store, if you have one near you. You may find you don't like the taste, so it would probably be good to go to something like a whole foods store  particularly if one has a juice bar  and buy some ready made into a smoothie or juice drink.
