Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 I raise many birds and wheat grass is very easy to grow, I feed it to my birds all the time. I buy by the 50lb bag but have seen it in many grocery stores that have bulk bins, It is called wheat berries. i use the hard red wheatberries.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 > One of the foods I'm no longer allergic to is wheat (yay). I bought some wheat grass at the hfs the other day, but one of your posts made me wonder -- will my cheapo juicer work on it? Any thoughts or advice appreciated. - your juicer will work, just not as efficiently as those made specifically for wheat grass. Actually, here is what I do instead since I also have a cheapo juicer...I take the WG cuttings and put into the blender with a small amount of really good water blend and strain for my drink...I prefer it that way to the cheapo juicer. Some people " wadge " the wheat grass, chew a wad!!!! (not likely with my bridgework) but either way you will get all the great essence - alkalizing, clorophyll etc. Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the gass fibres will pile up on the grinding teeth in the basket. The other thing you can do is chew the grass and spit out the pulp. I used to take wheat grass to work and do that.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Does anyone know if you can grow your own wheat grass? If so, where would one get seeds? I have never seen it at my HFS. In fact, I have never seen it anywhere (I don't live in a big metropolis) thanks - Re: Wheat Grass Juicing > > > One of the foods I'm no longer allergic to is wheat (yay).

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Usually I get my wheat berries from either Wild Oats or my local store (Food For Thought) Another great sources of very high quality seeds and materials is www..com I enjoy growing the wheat grass and also grow some chewing grass for the dog and cat during the winter months (lulu cat likes oats better though)! It only takes a few days to get them going once they have soaked and pre-sprouted. And they are pretty too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Oh, my -- I think my colleagues find me odd enough without chewing grass and spitting! I assume you have a private office. (I don't.) Now that you mention it, I do have a centrifugal juicer and will try what you suggest. I don't find the taste of it enjoyable without something added anyway.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 > Deborah -- the beautiful bride -- that's a good idea. Only I have to figure out how to strain it. What do you use and where could I buy it? Thanks, > KATHERINE: I have a little " tea " strainer it is metal and looks like a large spoon with holes and a very short handle - I've had it for ages but I've seen other similar things like a small mesh seive that would fit over/into the mouth of a glass or cup. Barring that, some mesh screening/strainer even if a little large would suffice since you don't need much juice for the benefit (just a couple ounces) I image it would be fairly manageable. Here is a link from a search I did for " mesh tea strainer " This was $6.99, but I know my local " dollar store " has them for about $1. If you can't find one locally, I can see what I can do to send you something if we strike out! http://webtrolley.org/mivastore/merchant.mv?
