Ann Wigmore, who created the concept of juicing wheatgrass, recommended using 2 ounces of wheatgrass per day for healthy people and as much as possible for sick people. She also recommended wheatgrass juice during pregnancy. My daughter-in-law used it for greater health and well-being during pregnancy.

I grow my own wheatgrass. It is fresher and cheaper, and growing wheatgrass yourself provides a more regular supply. The tools needed for growing include trays, a shelf unit to hold the trays, growing medium, and seeds. I grow the grass indoors in a sprouter. Growing outdoors is not practical for most people.

The best time to harvest the grass is ten days after, before it begins to turn yellow — the sign of lost life force. You can count on 6 ounces of juice per tray. If this is your first time drinking wheatgrass, give the body some time to get used to it. Do not overdo it. This goes for growing as well. Give yourself time to get used to the process. Do not get frustrated from your beginning efforts. As far as the taste of wheatgrass is concerned, it is sweet but there is an aftertaste that I do not enjoy. You either like it or you hate it. Sucking on a lemon slice after downing the juice is helpful.

Sometime people encounter problems with mold when growing wheatgrass. I sell a product called Citricide, made of grapefruit seeds, that helps to contain the mold and keep it under control. However, it is a force of nature and cannot be eradicated.

People should definitely use wheatgrass. Leafy green food is necessary to be vibrantly healthy and rid the body of toxins. I told a customer in Hawaii that it would be difficult to grow there because of the humidity, but he persisted and was successful in averting a prostate operation with it.
