Hello Lyn,

thanks for the Rejuvelac recipe. i remember i have a question or two

on it, but later for that. or i may just wing it on what you gave me.

i now go a couple times a week for an ounce or two of wheatgrass. i

just started back in a few months ago after being off of it for a year

or so. i find wheatgrass an easy thing to get away from. i shudder

just writing about it as it's usually quite an intense experience.

where i get it they serve it in shotglasses. that, the strength of it

and the barstools remind of my liquor drinking days. i'm a fan of

greens and the way they make me feel, but wheatgrass feels like more

than just concentrated greens....i don't know what, but something more.

Are you speaking of the mold problem with raising the wheat? I think I wrote

to you about using it for that. But I use it for all around the house. Like

in the kitchen and then in the bath to keep down mold and the like.

I appreciated the notes on the wheat grass and on the soaking of the seeds and

using the water taken from that. Very interesting to me. Plus, I to have

been thinking of getting that same juicer you spoke about. I liked the

clearance on the gears although there is one they consider better that have

even closer tolerances.

Dear Nick,

I think you are right...there is something more to wheatgrass than what

other greens have to offer. I have heard that the make-up of the wheatgrass

juice (and other grasses too) is very similar to hemoglobin/human blood.

Funny how that worked out. There is a Biblical story that tells of a great

King of Babylon who was told by God to go the the fields and eat only grass

(like the cattle) for a period of seven years. God took away his kingdom,

and his mind, because the King did not give Him the glory, but became vain

because of all the prosperity that God had given him. (is this not like

America?) The King , after the seven year period, was totally physically

restored, his mind, and his soul too. He saw his relationship with God in a

right perspective, as only a servant, not the master. God restored his

kingdom to him, and even more than his previous glory. Seven years of grass

can do wonders for a person....so there must be " more to it " than other

vegies, no? At the end of this period of seven years, the King's finger

nails had grown to be like " bird's claws " , hard and long (great mineral

assimilation)...and his hair was like " a lion's mane " ...a picture of

health. Talk about a good cleansing program!! : )

God Bless,

Another very green juice is celery.

Try growing and juicing some of that with

a little fresh ginger.............

But wheatgrass has the much higher enzyme activity.

Any sprout or young wheatgrass will have higher

enzymes than a vegetable

I mix it with sprout juice - 6 ounces total is max at one time! It is LIVE

ENERGY - crazy as that sounds! Some say it is literally living " vibes. " I

don't go in for that, but I do know it is powerful stuff! Good stuff, I

trust!

Without wishing to seem too " far out " - good things happen in the process

of growing the wheatgrass as well as drinking it! I look out my window to

a world of white - over waving " fields " of green as the fan slowly moves

the grass. A beautiful sight for soul and spirit in February! Lyn

I am not having success at growing wheat and barley grass. I am trying to

sprout it. Perhaps I should be using soil and planting it? Can anyone help

me on how to grow this.

Thank you,

Bernadette

[Guest guest]

Hi Bernadette,

After the wheat has sprouted and you see lots of roots, usually this

takes 2-4 days after it has been soaked, then I pull it out of the

sprout jar and plant it in soil. I use organic

potting soil mixed with organic wastes. I try to make as even a spread

of the sprouts on the tray full of soil, water it, then put another tray

on top for about 2 days. This depends on

when I see the little yellow shoots come up to about 1/4 " or 1/2 " . Then

I remove the tray from the top. I haven't done the barley, so can't

help you there. But definately needs soil I

think. Lori

I found growing wheatgrass to be quite simple. I grew my first batch with

no problems at all, following these simple rules:

Put about a half cup to a cup of wheat berries in a glass jar. Fill to top

with water and let stand overnight. (Do this in the evening). In the

morning, drain the jar and rinse the berries. Cover jar top with

cheesecloth. Turn jar upside down and leave at a 45 degree angle, and let

sit until evening.

It should now be 24 hours since you started.

I used a cheap foil tray (actually it was my turkey roaster leftover from

the holiday) and put a one inch layer of potting soil in the bottom. Spread

your soaked wheatberries in a single layer over the top of the soil. Moisten

(but don't make it swampy) and cover the tray to provide darkness for about

2 days. On the 3rd day, take off the cover, water and watch your wheatgrass

grow!

Hi Joanne!

Ok! It's the info I wanted to know. As you, I do think that the first

crop should be the finnest!

Because of such information I read somewhere, I was a little

inhibited to go along sprouting on trays. But now I'm a bit more

confident.

Thanks & regards!

I just visited this web site and ordered some materials. Drinking adequate

amounts of water is something I don't do. Mountain Dew and iced tea are my

weaknesses and eating healthy doesn't really do much good if I don't drink

healthy also. It's time to start. Wish me luck.

Lots of Good Health to you ! You are on the right track! Don't get

discouraged, if the first couple of days you see the inside

walls of the bathroom more than the outside! You have to get that body able to

absorb the water you are putting in! It has closed

down for so many years, it don't open up all at once! So please be patient!

So it takes a couple of days to do this! When you

have an adequate amount of water in you, that Mountain Dew or Iced Tea won't

even sound good!!

Hi Jim,

Do you see any mold? That seems to be my biggest problem. I have a

tray growing on Jute fiber that I soaked in a peroxide solution and

it's still molding.

The first little pot of wheatgrass I grew several months ago and set

outside on the ground has taken root and is still growing, but inside

it may grow to half its length on the second cutting. Now that it's

warm I may move it outside.

[Guest guest]

Dear Dave,

Wheat grass is good for one growth in a medium without soil I believe.

I grow two and even three crops in planters filled with Supersil. The

seed has only so much energy to grow!

TeeJay

[Guest guest]

Supersoil! not Supersil!

Don asked: " Anyone know the " tray " life of uncut wheatgrass? "

I'd imagine when the wheatgrass starts to " head up " , in other words, develop

a seed head. Once you see something like that happening, the value of the

grass is compromised.

[Guest guest]

wheat grass can be grown by using non-bleached paper towel (or peat moss

mix) indoors.

it may help to grow juicier grass as well as make handling easier (cleaner).

use 'kelp powder etc.' as nutrition for them, but 'regular' water is fine

for watering.

the reaction he's been experienced is normal, yet good sign for cleaning the

system.

putting wheat grass juice in blended natural fruit juice is an great idea to

start enjoying.

i find it's more important to know it's 'enjoyable' than thinking its

bitterness.

(feel stronger, energetic, sleep better....)

best luck,

i use only non-bleached paper towel instead of using soil.

it's the idea i learned from this community also!

using paper towel as " double " (2) seems to create the closest

environment to soil. (about five paper towel folded in tow)

after soak & wash the berries i put them in the strainer and placed them

in wok (or whatever bigger than the strainer ) put lid then

place it on top of stove (no fire, of course*)

it's (i'd think) original idea, but it promotes the berries

grow faster and much juicer! (because it's slightly warmer there)

wash berries 2~3 times a day & return to wok / most likely 2 days later

we have berries ready to be spread on tope of ''wet paper towel''.

cover--wait 2days--take the cover off--wait to grow by giving them water

once a day (you don't want give water too much~fungus etc problems~

it's the same method we use with soil growing.

additionally, after cutting first butch i throw the wheat grass mat

on top of soil out side. they grow back again there.

then i harvest second, finally i this time peel the mat from the soil

and put it in compost* non bleached paper towel is welcomed!

i'm sure depend on seed-kind or climate the best way of

growing wheat grass may require different idea each time.

i hope you find your *best way* and more than anything

you and yours wellness.

best wishes,

aya'

ps if anything i wasn't clear please let me know*

i'll try to write again.

According to Ann Wigmore and others, when you cut the grass you should cut it

all. The first cutting

has all the vitamins and minerals that were released in the sprouting of the

seed. If you allow it to grow

again you are not getting the same as you did from the first cutting, and like

Ali, I think the grasses are

hurt! I cut my grasses to about 1/2'' from the ground, and juice them. I

then turn over the grass matt

and replant, using the previous root mat for food for the next batch. Then i

compost it after that. I do

not know if it really helps, but thats how I do it.)
