I can buy millet seed really cheap and it sprouts nice but ,so far, it make for the least appetizing sprouts I have tried. Nutritionally it is very similar to wheat. Has anyone here tried millet grass juice?

l really love my millet sprouts, but still very starchy.

l used to grow it on 8 foot wooden doors under the porch (had the doors laid sideways). lt is a very slow growing grass. lt is far more productive to grow the usual grasses like oat grass, barley grass, rye grass or wheatgrass.
All the grasses are high in electromagnetic vibrations, so l wouldn't be too fussed about millet grass.
lf you concentrate on growing one of the conventional grasses along with the extremely important chia grass, you'll have made major inroads in the raw food diet.

After about 3 days of sprouting. Eat them while the legs are still nice and tender and lilly white. Once the main grass shoot gets too big (more than 2mm) they are no good to eat.
Please, tell me the importance of chia, over other grasses.
Mainly because it makes up for the lack of calcium to phosphorous balance by over compensating with extra calcium in the diet, but even more important are the fatty acids...especially with the over compensation of omega 3's. lt makes up for what is always lacking in a raw diet (calcium and omega 3) and helps put it all in much better balance. That is the main reason why everyone needs chia grass in their diet. Other foods have omega 3 also, but it generally isn't enough to balance the diet out well enough. + the sprout diet (including chia) maximises the opportunity for a person to make the essential EPA fatty acid (you won't get that with a conventional raw food diet), that's why a diet heavy in sprouts is so important.

Minerals are hard enough to get on a raw diet, but sprouting makes them much more available, for e.g, after sprouting the zinc content in alfalfa is four times that of the original seed. And at the same time the phosphorous which is bound up in phytic acid is reduced by up to 80%. See...minerals aren't created obviously, but they are unleashed because the various inhibitors release them in their proper absorbable form.
A good balanced diet is 90-5-5 = 90% carbs, 5% fat, 5% protein. But nearly all raw food diets are very unbalanced and draw many calories from fat and are high in the wrong types of sugars and out of balance in omega 3's - 6's and high in inhibitors and low in vitamins and minerals, low in enzymes and low hormones and low in phytonutrients and vibrations etc etc...it goes on and on. Using the cronometer is very misleading too.
