Hi,


How much wheatgrass is a good portion for one person? And do you guys use only the blades of the grass or even the roots?? Thanks

I use just the blades, so it can regrow and give me a second batch of the yummy stuff in a little bit... and I leave it about an inch tall... Im not sure about what is a good portion, cause from what I can tell I seem to be able to comfortably drink far more of it than most people without any issue, but id suggest maybe starting with one 4 inch pots worth, diluting it with 50% water after its juiced, and see how you can handle that,then see if your comfortable with it not diluted, and work from there if you feel you need to... me, I tend to feel far better after drinking kale juice than I do wheat grass, but that may just be my own individual dietary needs...

A year ago or so, I could not find any information anywhere that I looked (including sproutman's book), about how much wheatgrass you need to make a given quantity of juice...

I experimented and it appeared to be that I needed 4 22x11 inch trays in circulation, in order to have 4 oz daily.

My experience has been that a 4 inch pot of wheat grass would make something like a teaspoon of juice in my crushing kind of juicer (green life). With one of those little hand crank things it would make a drop or two.

huh...wow, I get far more than that from my omega 8004, I haven't measured it, but I know I get far more than a teaspoon of juice out of one 4 inch pot, If I had to guess, Id think I get at least 1 fluid ounce, But I could be wrong, I dont really have anything capable of measuring less than a quarter of a cup at this time, but should be getting my teaspoons back from my friend tonight when he comes over.
