Juicing Wheat Grass

By Larry Becker


Drinking the juice of fresh wheat grass is known to provide a boost to your immune system, thereby improving your health. By drinking the juice from wheat grass, it is possible to boost your immune system with a dearth of healthy nutrients as well as promote healthy cell growth and fight the growth of unhealthy toxins. To ensure you receive the wheat grass benefits you are seeking, you will need a juicing machine known as a wheat grass juicer because these are the juicers which extract the nutrients you require. You grow your own wheat grass at home for a super fresh juicing experience.

Grow Your Own You can grow fresh wheat grass to have on hand and juice it at the best time so as to obtain the greatest nutritional benefits possible. All you do is take 500 grams of seed, wheat grass seed that is, and soak it in water for about 8 hours. If you didn't want to plant them after an overnight soaking, you could put them out to soak in the morning and then plant them in the evening. It is best to plant them in a 20 x 10 x 2 inch seed tray and for the best results, try using an organic potting mix which is moist. Make sure the seeds are well covered with potting mix, water the seeds every day and make sure to cover the tray and place it somewhere dark.

Juicing Your Wheat Grass When you have harvested your wheat grass, rinse it right away and juice it right away. You can though, place any unused wheat grass in your refrigerator in an airtight container. Juicing wheat grass will require use of a juicing machine and the best one to use is a masticating juicer. Some appliances are not suitable and these include centrifugal juicers, blenders and food processors as they will destroy the chlorophyll. A wheat grass juicer is really just a different name for a masticating juicer. You should always drink the wheat grass juice as soon as possible but always within half an hour.

Don't do This Mold is not only harmful, but it spreads very easily so always check there is none on your wheat grass. Yellow sprouts are not fresh and you should fish them out before juicing to avoid a conflicting taste in the juice. Green sprouts are the best because they are fresh. Don't put it off, drink it right away. 30 minutes is the magic number before which the nutrients will break down so you can keep it refrigerated for that time or drink it right away.
