    Default I bought wheatgrass!

    It's a 10x20 thing of wheatgrass, pretty big.

    I don't have a juicer right now, would a blender be a good substitute? Or eat it raw?

    Edit:
    Yeah I can make it in a blender. Is it adviseable to eat the pulp though after I strain it? A website said it's good for the skin (the pulp and the juice in general), so it said to put the pulp on the skin and leave it for 20 minutes, and it leaves a golden glow or something. How do I put wheat grass pulp all over my body??

    Default Hi Gold,

    :) This is what i have done, put the pulp into a clean knee high stocking and rubbed it all over my face. It worked for me, it seemed to help my complexion. You could probably do the same thing for the rest of your body.
    You don't make a mess with the pulp either.

    When I make a wheatgrass poultice for my skin, my skin is green afterwards.

    Store it in the fridge. It should last a few days. You should put it in a container or bag.

    I bought a 4" pot about 2 weeks ago for my cats - it sits on the kitchen floor in a little tub with a bit of water in the bottom. If you keep it watered, it'll keep growing - not sure if it'll grow forever, but mine's now 2 weeks old and looking good! The kitties love it - and no more throwing up hairballs!

    If you have a vitamix you can use that. I don't know about eating it as is tho. My sister puts the wheat grass pulp on her breast where her cancer is with a cloth over it.

    You can chew the grass and suck out the juice. It actually tastes better to me that way rather than juicing it..maybe because it mixes with saliva. Just take some, put it in your mouth, start chewing and when it seems like the juice is all extracted, spit it out.
