Organic Gardening: Why Doesn’t Everyone Grow Sprouts? – Part II

I got one of these bad boys to grind out the juice:

But then my sister was saying the act of chewing helps your body synthesize the nutrients better; so I'd take a handful of wheatgrass, chew for a while like a cow, and spit out the leftover solids.

I grew them in trays that I drilled holes in the bottom so I could thoroughly wash and drain it. I've also successfully grown it with and without soil. Some people recommend soil or a grow medium just because it's closer to nature.

I have grown it both ways as well. I have always liked the taste of grass. I remember chewing on blades of grass as a child growing up a farm. It is packed with vitamins and nutrients. But you do need a quality wheat juice grinder. I tend to grow barley over wheat.

It's interesting, I feel instantly better when the juice hits my tongue, like my body is saying YESSS, THAT'S THE STUFF.

I'm fascinated, @neabponch. Thanks for sharing. There are so many ways to be healthy. I've been anti-junk-food for a few decades. I love being healthy!!
