blender or juicer?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1019 of 1102 |
Hi Everyone!
I just joined today and I am happy to be a member of the wheatgrass community.
Just a little about me...I bought ann wigmore's book, "The Wheatgrass Book" and
started growing about 2 months ago. It was easier than anticipated but I don't
consider myself an expert, although, it would seem that many years would make
you as such. This is not rocket science. This weekend I am going to start my
first cleanse using wheatgrass.

So, from the title of my post I am wondering if there really is any difference
in whether you use a blender or wheatgrass juicer to juice your grass? I have
heard that you can get much more juice from the pulp if strained
thru a nylon bag after using a blender and the clean up is a snap but someone
told me that it affects the nutrients of the grass and that its much more
beneficial to use the wheatgrass juicer.


What say you?

Tom

Such nonsense...enzymes are not living, have never been living and cannot be "killed".  Enzymes are catalysts, (protein molecules) that breakdown...
