Wheatgrass is the first grass of wheat grains, harvested before it reaches full size (usually 7-10 days after sprouting).
Sprouting Wheatgrass
First – sprout the seeds
These first steps are used for both the soil & soilless version.
Rinse the seeds then put in a sprouting container and cover with a mesh. Add 1 cup of water and soak for 8 hours. Drain and rinse well.
Fill the container with water, invert it and let the water drain through the mesh. Leave it upside down. Rinse the seeds 2-3 times a day for 2-3 days. Tiny sprouts form within 2-3 days.
How To grow Wheatgrass with soil
When the sprouts appear, it’s time to plant. Add 1 inch (2.5 cm) organic compost/ planting soil to a tray (with holes at the bottom) and water it. Sprinkle the seeds across the soil. Cover the tray with a lid or a newspaper. The darkness will help it grow. Spray it with water daily.
Remove the lid/newspaper when the grass reaches about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) and continue to water daily. You can harvest when the grass reaches about 5 inches (12 cm). Simply cut the grass close to the root.
