Re: How to take wheat grass juice. Was: baby blanket vs Sure to Grow mats

[Guest guest]

The juice of wheat grass is usually taken as a separate liquid.

(see youtube wheatgrass)

I take one ounce at a time, alone or mixed with water.

The first time I had a 'shot' of wheat grass, I got a bit dizzy. The gal from

Healthy Juicer suggested it was because was because I was probably somewhat

dyhydrated and that wheat grass juice lowers blood pressure,

( http://www.hippocratesinst.org/benefits-of-wheatgrass)

so mix it with water for a while. Some folks might add it to a blender drink or

with a vegetable such as cucumnber, but I tend to keep something I am taking for

medicinal purposes separate from the food I eat. Just my preference.

I do not sugggest eating the grass as it is not easily digestible and the

benefits are in the juice, rather than the roughage.

Youtube has many videos on how to grow and process wheat grass.

As a side note, the sprouted wheat berries, only buy organic, can be sprouted to

the little root stage and used to make bread, the the leaf stage is best left

for juicing, according to what I have seen. Others may have found a way to use a

Blendex or Vitamix to get the juice, but a juicer, even the manual Healthy

Juicer (about 50 US dollars) does a better job of extracting the juice and is

much easier to use as it has fewer steps to take to get the juice.

Hope this helps.

Still hoping for some advise on whether folks like baby blanket or STP mats not

only for growing wheatgrass, but for recycling also.

Thanks,

Happily Sprouting,

it?ÃÆ'ƒÆ’ÃÆ'¢â‚¬Å¡ÃÆ'ĉہÂ\

¡ÃƒÆ'‚  Do you add it to a smoothie of some

> I am getting ready to buy more seeds and medium for wheat grass and purchase

the electric wheat grass juicer thru sproutpeople.org. The wheat grass seems to

be lowering my blood pressure and stabilizing my blood sugar so I want to

increase the yield to 1-2 ounces a day. We did this before, but only had the

manual Healthy juicer and it took a very long time to juice a 10-20 tray.

turn it upside down and use it in my potted vegetable containers to keep the

moisture in. But I am willing to give the STG mats a try if I can use them in

the same way. The baby blanket breaks down eventually. Do the STG mats do this?

sources for some things, but it is my way of saying thank you to Gil and Lori

for their seed quality and all their hard work on their website and service to

the sprouting community. His detailed instructions have really helped me and I

can't beat the variety of organic seeds.
