Wheatgrass

long time wheatgrass veteran. years of research, growing, and juicing wheatgrass I have concluded that wheatgrass grown in trays with no soil, only water, has very limited value. some value, but not that much.

it needs to grow in soil, for at least 12 days before the sugars convert to complex carbs, and for the grass to absorb minerals from the soil. tray grown with no soil tastes cloyingly sweet for this reason.

your mileage may vary.

edit: also you need to do at least 4 oz, preferably 6 or more to have real benefits. one or two is just not enough.
