i discovered wheatgrass juice for the second time...
Posted by: pineapple girl ()
Date: October 12, 2008 06:42PM

i drank it years ago and couldnt stomach it,

but i had some today and now i think i like it.

i had this realization about greens, i crave them so much, and i like to eat raw spinich and romaine, and i find it hard to digest.

so i thought if i was craving greens so badly, why dont i try wheatgrass juice again,

it must have the power of greens in a concentrated easy to digest form.

i am trying to find the nutrional breakdown of a shot of wheatgrass.

i had a shot of wheatgrass juice this morning at whole foods.

my idea is, that maybe a shot of wheatgrass might be better than all the romaine that i eat and then find hard to digest.

I've been having 1.5 to 2 ounces of Wheatgrass Juice
first thing in the morning, followed by a Green Smoothie.
It's always nice to read about other people drinking
Wheatgrass Juice. I'm considering drinking it twice a
day, but that would mean twice the work to grow it.....WY

WY, I love the illustrated growing instructions on your site! It makes it seems so easy, I noticed that you don't cover the wheatgrass with wet paper towels while they are in the covered stage, that was always what I was taught to do, does just covering them work better than wet paper towels?

You have me confused with someone else. I don't
have a site. For years, I've been growing my Wheatgrass in
stainless steel bowls without drain holes. I cover the soaked
berries with a thin layer of Potting Mix. I put a half-gallon
of liquid fertilizer mix in the bowl to start.
Happy Growing. Anyone can do it.....it's easy.....WY

Sorry, I meant the link you posted. Since your login is Wheatgrass Yogi I thought the wheatgrass site link you posted was yours.

A half gallon of liquid fertilizer mix!?! Pray tell, what's in it? Is that expensive?

It's a homemade brew of Ocean Water, Clay,
and Soluble Seaweed Extract, all in a half-gallon of
filtered water. No, it's not expensive.

I was thinking the same thing.

I really want to start growing my own wheatgrass. I'm going to start saving for a wheatgrass juicer so I can grow my own. I hate paying so much for a 10 day supply of frozen wheatgrass.

ok, but...

does anyone have the nutritional breakdown of wheatgrass juice,

like the total percentages of vitamins, minerals, antioxidents per 1 1/2 ounce?

i swear, i have been googling, and can not find this information.

This is the best I could find.
Don't go so much by what's in it, but by how
it makes you feel.
I've been taking up to 3 1/2 ounces of fresh Wheatgrass
Juice first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I
don't allow myself any other food until I've had that first
green juice. It gives me good energy, and is also a form of
Discipline......WY

WY -- Do you drink the wheatgrass juice with anything else or do you drink it by itself ?

I have a 5-ounce Measuring Glass, and 'cut'
the Wheatgrass Juice about half-and-half with Water. It
seems to go through my Kidneys better that way. I wait up
to an hour before following that with any solid food.....WY

WY - Why do you drink it first thing in the morning as opposed to drinking it at some other time?

What do the Nicotine Fiends and Caffeine
Addicts of the World do first thing upon arising?
That's when the senses are more alive.
Wheatgrass Juice gets into the System better after
a long Dry Fast the night before. I'm considering having
Celery Juice along with it.....WY
