Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could add to my wheatgrass juice?
(fruits/veggies) There are some days when I can't deal with the taste! Any
comments/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks    Jimbo

Hi Manorma,
                        Thankyou so much for answering my question. I have tried
it with enzymes and without and haven't had any pain, in fact i have had so much
more energy and less pain and its only been one week on wheatgrass. I'm not
naive enough to think its going to cure me, that would be a miracle but it has 
definitely given me a boost and for that reason alone i shall carry on with it.

Thanks so much
Sean.

People with Pancreatitis can take WG juice withoout any hestitation. There is no
need to take any digestive enymes.

Well, actually Kaitlin, I've seen the WG being blended then the pulp is strained
thru a nutmilk bag so the pulp is seperated then lastly you can then take the WG
juice and mix it with other fruits and veggies. There seems to be this green
smoothie movement out there to make it easier for people to transition to raw
food. Many people love it! Its a brilliant idea and there isn't near the clean
up required of regular juicing. Also, oxidation only occurs if you don't
immediately drink the juice...time, heat(118 degrees Faranheit)and oxygen
exposure are your only factors in being concerned about killing any enzymes. By
blending you break the cell wall of your greens down to the micron level so as
to release all the rich nutrients into a fine puree. Thats not much energy being
expended to digest plus the consumption of the pureed pulp you stimulate the
salivary glands to release our own natural enzymes. There are pros and cons to
this but in this way I think the positive outweighs the negative.

Happy juicing(I mean blending)  : )

Tom

i talked to the man who grows hundreds of wheatgrass treys at the Optimum Health
Institute in Lemon Grove, just east of San Diego. They use wheatgrass to work on
healing serious diseases like cancer. He said that blending is fine for healthy
persons. but, if one is sick or seriously ill, then his body will get better not
having to digest the fiber; ie: for the person needing healing: they should
drink wheatgrass juice made in a juicer.

Ok, the jury is out! I have been doing more research on this and it appears that
blending wheatgrass is the better way to go. Not only is it more nutritious but
there is virtually no mess or major cleanup like there is with juicing. The
biggest concern is that by blending you are killing the enzymes and creating
oxidation but I think the killing of enzymes is a fallacy because it takes a
temp of 118 degrees before heat becomes a real factor in destroying enzymes(I
don't think any blender is going to generate that kind of heat)and oxidation is
not a real concern unless you juice your grass then let it sit on your kitchen
counter for more than 5 minutes and if that is the case what would be the point
in juicing it in the first place. According to Victoria Boutenko in her book,
"Green For Life" she mentions some quotes from
the mother of the wheatgrass movement, Ann Wigmore, as preferring blending of
all her foods as it easily assimilates into the bloodstream plus you are getting
the benefits of the pulp which is needed for fiber. Vitamix, here I come! I'm
going to sell my centrifugal juicer and my WG juicer on ebay.
By the way...there is some guy who calls himself the"blind guru" whom I saw on
you tube do some WG juicing with a blender and strain it thru a nutmilk bag.
That seems like the way to go.
Just my preference anyway.

once a bag is open, air gets in, and the seeds, grains, beans, etc., may start
to become 'old'........... towards rotting.
if the 'system' breaks down, you may become dependent on such (stored) 'food',
to survive!!    so, i prefer buying 2 pound sealed bags of raw mung beans,
which, esp. when remaining in sealed bags, will be good for
years..................   good protein, esp. easy to digest when sprouted; mix
with water and spices: = good protein soup, in India called 'dahl'; you can live
on it, if necessary................  while others may be in food lines, or food
riots!...........

I am new to this site and group and just starting out in growing my own
wheatgrass for juicing.  Can anyone be let me know where they buy their
wheatgrass seeds, trays and kits from to get started.  I will be much
appreciative.  Peace to you all.

Tom,
 
I don't juice myself, but instead take a dehydrated version from PureGreen
Foods. I use wheat grass as a nutritional supplement and as way to slightly
change the pH of my body, not a source of enzymes. I've found that the change
in pH makes me resistant to many infections including colds and the flu.  I do
not remember the last time I had a cold.
 
 I do follow wheat grass juicing as a matter of interest.  The link to the
website about different juicers is
http://www.discountjuicers.com/juicequality.html    This guy actually checks
oxidation and temperature of carrots/wheat grass after passing through different
machines. Not very scientific but I think very useful.
 
Enjoy your trek to good health.
 
Jerry

Hi Jerry!
I would be very interested in that study you mention. I did a search of the
group and looked in the file section and I can't find anything or any past
threads discussing this. I understand that the search engine isn't the best. Do
you remember the dates or exact title or the study or the threads that were
posted.
I've been very successful at growing and harvesting WG but when it comes to
juicing it turns out to be a major project. I was told I have a really good
juicer but it only takes small bundles of grass when feeding it into the hopper
then makes this loud whiny noise likes its going to explode. Now, I have seen on
a handful of you tube videos where this guy who calls himself the blind guru and
he said that you get way more juice and it is more efficient to use a vitamix
blender then strain the WG pulp thru a nut milk bag. I was amazed and the
cleanup, well, there really wasn't any clean up cause the pulp is already in the
strainer bag.

Thanks,
Tom

Here are somephotos of WG which you asked for.But I'll send another one where
each stage of growth of WG is clearly shown, right from the sprouting stage.

Hi, I wonder if wheatgrass is contraindicated for people with mercury fillings
in their mouth.

should be grown only in indirect sunlight.The harsh sunrays from 10 a.m. to 2.00
p.m. should be avoided.The hot rays will sap the grassof its nutrition.
   I sprinkle water once a day.Waterlogging and soggy mud should be avoided.In
very hot summer months (March to June ) WG doesn,t grow well in the hotter
States of India.So I don't plant WG in those months.
   Problems which I faced may be different from your own.So You are welcome to
present them in this forum for clarification.

The white mold grows for any sprouted seed.But it is not at all harmful.You can
just wash it thoroughly from the grass and then use the grass. Allternatively,
if you are still particular about it try this.When you empty the pot after
harvesting the grass, DRY the mud is hot sun well, and then only reuse the mud.

Mis way no mold forms.

Manorama,

Can you provide additional details regarding your setup, perhaps upload some
photos to the group?

I am curious about the light, amount of light, direct or indirect etc.

What is your typical watering schedule?

Problems you encountered and overcame.

After 35 years, I dare to reinvent the wheel when you obviously have it down to
a routine. =]

Patiently waiting for your wisdom,
Eddy

This has been discussed many times before.  Look back into the group and you
will find lots of information, including a link to a very good study evaluating
the differences between a juicer and a blender.  Essentially no difference.

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

Nonsense...wheat grass loses none of its nutritional value over time.  It does
lose enzyme activity over time.  As for chewing, it may help teeth and gums, but
your jaw cannot generate enough force to fracture the cells so you may have full
benefit of the plant.  Want wheat grass juice, use a blender or juice press.

Wheat grass fuice loses its nutritional/ medicainal every second it is stored.
Its value is totally lost in half an hour, even after storing in a fridge.It is
advisable to extract the juice only after a person is ready to drink
immediately.
WG juice cannot be stored but the grass itself can be stored wrapped in a moist
cloth, and put in the fridge.Wg chewn is more beneficial than the juice. 25gm of
grass chewn has the same or more benefit than 100gm of WG juice.Chewing the
grass cures dental problems and strengthens the gums.
