Benhaimprotect against cancer and the immune system. When purchasing
barley for grass it must be unhulled and not pearled. The taste is
not as pleasant as wheat grass but more palatable as a mixer.
Freeze dried barley and wheat grass powders are
currently available and do not seem to lose many benefits,
however I recommend the naturecure way of chewing fresh grass
(ignore the cow jokes) or juicing so the immeasurable energy and
nutrients are not lost in any way.
For a change, why not mix wheat grass in a 1:1 ratio with
rejuvelac for a truly rejuvenating drink! Wheat grass also mixes
well with other juices such as mint and pineapple or carrot, celery
or beet.
Another way of getting a chlorophyll boost is to sprout
buckwheat and sunflower seeds until they turn green and then
place them in your juicer.
Growing
Grass
Yes, the book is called HEMP, but you will not find a section on
how to grow your favourite herb here. We are still talking about the
next best kind of grass. Choose organic hard winter or spring
wheat berries if available. Raw, sunflower seeds in their shell,
black unshelled buckwheat are also suitable, available from your
regular whole-food supplier (see resource list).
Soak wheat berries overnight. Sprout them for 1 to 2 days
or until seedlings appear. Change the water at least twice a day.
Spread onto an even layer of organic healthy looking soil about 2
inches thick. Use 10% vermiculite to keep the soil well aired. The
seeds can be crowded but only one layer thick. Sprinkle or
preferably spray water on the soil to keep moist but do not over do
