How to Grow Wheatgrass

How to Grow Wheatgrass:

Things to prepare:
1. Wheatgrass Seed 2. Sprouting Jar 3. Pressure Sprayer 4. Compost	6. Wheat Grass Sprouting Tray 7. Sprouting Tray (775041) 8. Soft Brush – (SP-510)

Steps:

1. Rinse about ½ pound of Organic Hard Winter Wheat (550011) and pour into Sprouting Jar (SP-502). Soak with 80% full of dean water (We recommend spring or filter water) for about 8 to 10 hours or over night, with room temperature of 70-75’F as preferred.

		2. Drain out the water and prop the Sprouting Jar (SP-502) with lid down on a 45-degree angle as the picture showing on the right. This becomes a virtual greenhouse on its own, and it is ready to sprout. The sprouting process will usually take about 10 to 15 hours. If the air is too dry, we recommend rinse once or twice with dean water. Once again, a 70-75 ‘F of room temperature is preferred.

3. Cover up the No Hole Sprouting Tray (SP-504) with Wheat Grass Sprouting Tray (SP-503) on the bottom. Spread a smooth, even layer of Organic Natural Humus (SP-901) for about one inch deep inside the No Hole Sprouting Tray (SP-504). Mix a teaspoon of Kelp Powder (SP-601) with a gallon of Spring water, and use the Pressure Sprayer (F-701) spread evenly moist enough across the top.

		4. Pour the sprouted wheat in the center of the tray and spread it out evenly with Soft Brush - Long (SP-510), covering the soil. Ideally, one seed should touch another on all sides, but should not have any others piled on top of it. (Pick out the un-sprouted seeds)

5. Sprinkle the seeds with Kelp Powder (SP-601) water once again, making it damp (but not swampy), and cover with another No Hole Sprouting Tray (SP-504). Place the tray on a shade area with room temperature 70-75℉ as preferred.

		6. Sprinkle with Kelp Spring water twice a day. (Morning and night) About 2 to 3 days later (two in warmer weather and three otherwise), uncover the trays, and set them out in indirect light. The wheatgrass will be about 1.5 to 2 inch high, very sturdy, and white or yellowish in color.

7. Once the wheatgrass are set out in the light, they will need to be watered(Spring water,without kelp) every day or every other day depending on the weather, humidity, and the indoor temperature. When wheatgrass grown up to 6 inch, it is ready for juicing while the wheatgrass still growing. Ideally, wheatgrass should be juiced and used immediately after cutting.

		8. To harvest wheatgrass, cut as close to the soil as possible, because many nutrients are concentrated close to the soil mat. If you pull up some soil the plants, merely rinse the root ends with plain water before juicing or eating the wheatgrass.

* Although the cut wheatgrass can be stored for up to seven days in plastic bags in the refrigerator, once juiced it will begin to go bad in a half hour, and be completely spoiled in twelve hours. If wheatgrass juice is not used right away, it should be discarded. DO NOT rinse the wheatgrass if you are going to store it in the refrigerator. * You could use your teeth to juice the grass by chewing it and spitting out the pulp, but to get several ounces by this method would wear out your jaw, and your patience! How to Juice the Wheatgrass? We recommend having a slow-turning juicer made especially for juicing sprouts, greens, soft vegetables, and wheatgrass. We carry both electric and manual model. Unlike high-speed vegetable juicers, which grind fresh foods and separate the juice form them, a wheatgrass juicer squeezes the juice out slowly. In this way it is able to extract 50 to 98 percent more juice from wheatgrass, greens, sprouts, or soft vegetables than any high-speed machine can. A wheatgrass juicer will be used in extracting fruit and vegetable juices and “green drinks” made from sprouts, greens, and wheatgrass fast. We recommend 2 oz. of wheatgrass juice daily, 20 minutes before the first meal (breakfast) in an empty stomach for best result. Copyright c 2004 Brow Farm Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
