a little on-going effort in tending your crop, you can grow trays of wheatgrass
very easily. It is one of those habits that's easy, once you know how, and you've
experimented a few times! There are 2 mediums in which to grow wheatgrass -
using soil or hydroponically (using water). Traditionally, wheatgrass, like
any plant, is best grown in soil. The nutrient levels are slightly reduced by
growing in water, but this method is convenient for those people who cannot
make compost, etc. in a garden, and those who just want to keep the growing
really simple. You can try both methods, and choose which suits your own circumstances
best. Growing instructions are included with the kits, which provide the ingredients
for a minimum of 4 trays. ARE WE REALLY SO UNHEALTHY?Two of the most
salutary trends in modern nutrition are the malnutrition of affluent society
and mass dehydration - both lead to poor health. We are increasingly dependent
on refined foods, low quality, mass produced meat, fruit and vegetables. We
are subject to massive media exposure of the high sugar drinks and fast food
outlets. There is an increasing need to add fertilisers to improve yields from
impoverished soil, and to use of growth hormones and antibiotics in the production
of meat. Other factors - such as the tight margins demanded by supermarket giants
- all conspire to reduce the nutritional value of our foods. The poor quality
of our tap water does little to encourage us to drink the recommended daily
quota. Our reliance on high energy sugar drinks and stimulants, such as tea
and coffee, combine to dehydrate our systems still further. The results can
include a reduction in the efficiency of our immune systems, a lowering of reserves
through the poor nutrient content of our diet and a propensity to infections
. . .IT'S NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM, HOWEVER . . .An increase in the public's awareness
of these issues has led to an enormous increase in the consumption of organic
foods, a suspicion of GMO foods, the on-going call for adequate food labelling
and increased use of water purification. Alongside the quantum leaps in our
understanding of the importance of living foods and the factors that have led
to the deterioration in the quality of our food, come the welcome proliferation
of the juice bar, the complementary health clinic, and the local wholefood shop.
An organic, freshly prepared juice in a gym or juice bar may cost £3 or more,
but an increasing number of people are looking for ways to boost their intake
of fresh organic nutrients and of pure water AT HOME. What is it about wheatgrass,
that leads it to feature on the menus of fashionable juice bars, to help increasing
numbers of people in their fight against cancer, to boost the immune system,
and to be an important element in most detox programmes?
Steve Meyerowitz, known as Sproutman in the US, describes wheatgrass
as "a sunshine transfusion"
Dr Ann Wigmore healed her gangrenous legs with it in the 1970's and later
ran the Boston marathon; and
our own Living Foods expert, Elaine Bruce, who was a student of the
late Ann Wigmore, describes it as an essential ingredient of the Living
Foods Programme.

Starter Kit SO . . . WHY DRINK WHEATGRASS JUICE?Wheatgrass earned its
reputation from people with terminal illnesses, who took it at the eleventh
hour after conventional medicine left them with no hope. In the 1970s, Dr Ann
Wigmore opened the Hippocrates Health Institute, in Boston, nourishing terminally
ill patients back to health with fresh squeezed wheatgrass. Dr Charles F Schnabel
(1895 - 1974) chemist and agriculturalist, knew from his work with his farm
animals and his research in the laboratory, that wheatgrass boosts nutrition,
builds good blood and strengthens immunity. More recently, there are many studies
demonstrating the efficacy and nutrition of grass foods, using both clinical
evidence and testimonials. In the US there are numerous healing centres, where
wheatgrass plays a key role in the diet. There are courses run in the UK by
proponents of wheatgrass and raw, living foods. Wheatgrass has long been used
like a herbal medicine - for its therapeutic and nutritional properties. Although
wheat is the most popular, barley, oats and rye are equally potent.So what's
it good for?Blood purification, Liver detoxification, Colon cleansing. As
a food Wheatgrass is very nourishing and restorative with a complete
range of nutrients. Therapeutically, the fresh juice can be drunk or
applied rectally using a enema implant. For disease prevention, you can
make powdered drinks, take it in tablet or capsule form, or drink the fresh
juice as part of a long term health maintenance programme. For those with an
intolerance to gluten, do not be put off . . . The grain metamorphoses completely
into a vegetable, with none of the allergic proteins common to the glutenous
grains.". . . our food is our medicine and our medicine is our food"
- Hippocrates, the father of medicine.It has long been established that the
best medicine is a whole, natural food. All known nutrients were found in concentrated
form in wheatgrass, including what are now known as phytochemicals. Also anti-oxidants,
enzymes, 20 amino acids, vitamins including: folic acid, calcium, zinc, selenium,
magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, potassium, and cellular RNA and DNA. Similar
natural superfoods containing a broad spectrum of concentrated nutrients are
bee pollen, spirulina, chlorella and blue green algae. They all provide the
raw materials from which the body manufactures what it needs and balances its
own chemistry. Grasses, along with alfalfa and these algae, are the richest
sources of chlorophyll on the planet. Green plant cells are the only cells capable
of absorbing the energy of the sun. The famous research scientist E. Bircher
called chlorophyll "concentrated sunpower - it increases the functions of
the heart, improves the vascular system, the intestines, the uterus and the
lungs. It raises the basic nitrogen exchange and is therefore a tonic which,
considering its stimulating properties cannot be compared with any other".
The amount of juice you drink is totally up to you.Steve Meyerowitz says
"Grass is non-toxic in any dose, but you may react to the results of its
detoxifying power. All grass is a powerful purgative for the liver, and too
much can release too many poisons too quickly". EXPERIMENT!
Start with small quantities. It can be mixed with other juices or taken neat.
Notice the effects of a daily 1oz shot! Remember - it's concentrated sunpower!
Rocket fuel! Greenpower! Living food! Whatever it becomes for you . . . have
fun! If you have time let us know how you get on.

These are the

Alright you will find cheaper trays on other sites,
but other trays are made to use once and then through
away. BUT our trays are made to use again and again
we have have been using some of these trays on the
farm for years. They're a nice colour too so if your
going to put your Wheatgrass in the kitchen window
they look better than them black trays. I've even
washed them in the dishwasher and they seem to stand
up to it all right. (We can get you the black trays
for half the price, but they won't last half as long.)

ARE WE REALLY SO UNHEALTHY?
In real terms we are living longer than any other time in human history. We
eat when ever we like and as much as we want. This is a great achievement
for our society. But in order to do this we have over looked the main reasons
we eat food. It is for it's nutrisnal values. If it tastes good then so much
the better for it.
Our ancestors lived off the land, if
fruit was ripe then they picked and eat it. When it could be stored it was
stored fresh and uncooked, so keeping a great many vitamins and minerals.
When they got the chance of meat they were glad of it and often it was eaten
uncooked. Or only cooked on the out side. When meat was stored it was dried
or smoked, this all retained a greater number of vitamins. Our ancestors lived
like this for thousands of years. From the day we walked upright and long
before that time our bodies have been chancing to suit the environment around
it. So over this time our bodies have adapted to digest the food we eat.
Yet today two of the most salutary trends
in modern nutrition are the malnutrition of affluent society and mass dehydration
- both lead to poor health. We are increasingly dependent on refined foods,
pre cooked and preperpered. We are subject to massive media exposure of the
high sugar drinks and fast food outlets. Our reliance on high energy sugar
drinks and stimulants, such as tea and coffee, combine to dehydrate our systems
still further. The results can include a reduction in the efficiency of our
immune systems, a lowering of reserves through the poor nutrient content of
our diet and the way our food is now prepered by us and for us. . .
IT'S NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM, HOWEVER . . .
An increase in the public's awareness of these issues has led to an enormous
increase in the consumption of organic foods and a suspicion of GMO foods,
I'm sorry to say that having been growing fresh fruit and vegetables for a
living all my life and my father and father before him. My veiws on organic
food and GMO foods may fly in the face of what may peoples apinions are. I
do how ever understand the ongoing call for adequate food labelling and increased
use of water purification. Alongside the quantum leaps in our understanding
of the importance of living foods and the factors that have led to the deterioration
in the quality of our food. But I have to ask the questions of why we do many
of thses things.
A big problem with the so called healthy
food groups is the reason they are going down these roots. As a farmer and
grower I feel I'm as well qualifed as anyone to give my piont of veiw on the
health and wealth of this country we live in. We
dont have to go back far in the history of our country to see how much it
as changed. Dispite all you may read and have been told we are far far better
off than our granperrents. But this in its self as made new problems. Not
just for us but for our country and in the end the world we live in. Has I
said earlier our problems started thousands of years ago. From the first day
a of our ansester picked up a rock and used it as a tool. You could say that
was the day we changed the world for ever! Here's the reason why. Up to that
time we had changed to suit the enviroment around us. Not by our own chusing
but by the enviroment around us. Mr Chiales Dawin realised this with his thiray
of evalostion. An easy way
come the welcome proliferation of the
juice bar, the complementary health clinic, and the local wholefood shop.

Recipe Method
Soak wheatgrass seeds in water for 8 to 12 hours. Get a jam jar or pickling
jar, put drained and rinsed wheat in it, cover lid with nylon net or part of
an old stocking, secure with a rubber band. Twice a day, rinse (cover with cool
water, swirl around, dump out). In 2 to 3 days, a small sprout will appear.
Refrigerate at this point. Can eat raw, in salads, on sandwiches, or alone,
or cook about 5 minutes, use in bread, or cook and eat plain or with rice. Has
a slightly sweet, nutty flavour
