A quick update on my earlier attempt to grow and consume some wheatgrass...

Today I got impatient and decided it was grinding day. Wheatgrass must be ground gently by hand to make sure it retains all its grassy goodness, and if you buy it in a juice bar, you'll notice their grinders are hand operated. So pure are the vitamins in a shot of wheatgrass, that subjecting them to a bashing in an electric grinder would be sacrilege. Apparently.

So, here's what we've got...

1. A Bunch of Wheatgrass, grown for just over 2 weeks (minus a few trimmings from my confused mother who thought I was growing a herb garden)

2. My friend's grinder

After cutting the grass and giving it a whirl in the grinder, lo and behold....

3. 6 drops of dark green juice

It tasted good : sweet, grassy, vitamin-y...

Verdict?  Worth it if you're bored and your kitchen is larger than 1 Acre.

And don't believe that stuff about it curing your gray hairs.
