i can't believe the day would come when not only will i be eating grass, i'd be growing them too!
one of the take home packs my little boy got out of their field trip to the hydroponics farm was a grow your own wheatgrass set. curious, i followed the instructions and voila! a few days later, i had a healthy growth of wheatgrass!
what to do with it? i asked myself. i know wheatgrass is really healthy. 15 g of wheatgrass is equal in overal nutritional value to 350g of vegetables. it contains 70% crude chlorophyll, which resembles haemoglobin and therefore the body is able to easily utilize it to oxygenate, energise, and heal. it improves skin and hair, fights infection, lowers blood pressure, suppresses appetite (!), increases haemoglobin production (which i need because i'm anaemic), and purifies the liver and kidney. whew! so much from a small clump of grass.
anyway, i heard you're supposed to turn it into juice with cucumbers, celery, and other stuff but since i had none of those, i just ate them. yes, i ate the grass like a goat. and you know how it tasted? like fresh green guava.
i'm planting more of them tomorrow.
grass are for goats

I have them three times a day, its great. I have them with honey. Try pulsing the thing on your blender. Add it on to your banana shake. Its better than having coffee. That's just me :D
