wheat grass juice+? about smoothie as far as food combining

[Guest guest]

ok-

so if I want to make my own

do I buy wheat berries

then soak them and then grow them in some fertilized soil(I have a bunny)

then let them grow

and harvest after about 5 days

and juice in my champion juicer?

can I put the wheat grass directly in my smoothies--

AND as far as that goes

I have been combining

baby spinach with blueberries & cherries and weaning myself off adding

soymilk/yogurt

-

my question is should I add the spinach?

Is that bad....and sometimes I have a pineapple & mango combo with the

spinach is that even worse?

 

TIA.

At Hippocrates we grow our own wheatgrass and a variety of sprouts for the

juices and live

vegetarian cuisine that we serve to our guests. Our wheatgrass juice has been

ranked best

tasting in the US! We ship wheatgrass seeds and sprouting seeds to anywhere in

the

continental US. We inspect and test all of our seeds and we stand behind their

quality. The

hard winter wheat seed we sell is the same seed that we are using in our

greenhouse and

is tested for quality and taste. Most wheat that is sold in stores is not tested

for

wheatgrass growing. If you ever have a problem with seeds from us, please

contact us.

 

 

Hippocrates is working very hard so that all our Alumni and guests, past and

present will

eventually be able to have OUR wheatgrass, sunflower, sprouts, etc...

overnight,

nationwide right to your front door! Check back with us every few weeks as it

will be on

our website when it happens!!

Here's a pretty good article on growing wheatgrass. Ann Wigmore wrote

a couple booklets on it and on organic soil that you can find used.

And...

 

I used to grow my own wheatgrass, buckwheat greens, sunflower greens.

I had shelves in front of all my windows. I was living in NH at the

time.

It took me about 4 hours a day to produce enough of those three items

for 2 people.

That included soil preparation, planting, watering, rotating,

harvesting...

 

I now buy trays from a local grower for $7 a tray.

My time is more valuable to me now that growing it myself.

My wife and I use one tray a week. Makes about 2-3 oz a day for each

of us.

I have lived in NH all my life. Nice to meet you, wyn.

 

It's definitely tough farming up here. The local farmers

markets are finally getting up and running. So far, it's

just baby collards, arugula, spinach, etc.. Quite yummy

though! Looking forward to the zebra tomatoes, etc..

Erin,

I remember well those 12 week growing seasons!

How about frost on June 1st that wipes out the garden...?

Happened more than once in the decade I lived there.

 

Am now in S. California in an area with a 12 month growing season.

We get fresh organic veggies all year. Fruit in season.

We get maybe a dozen light frosts a year.

In an exception winter - like last one, we get a freeze.

It mostly hits the citrus. The veggies seem to survive since it is

only a short time below freezing in the middle of the night.

It ALWAYS is above freezing during the day.

 

Was at the farmer's market today. Stocking up for clients coming

tomorrow.

I've been here long enough (10 years) that I take the abundance of

local organic fresh food for granted.

Thanks for the reminder to be grateful for the my blessings.

 

It's also pretty reasonable. Bunches or celantro, kale, spinach, etc.

are $1 ea.

Lettuce about $1.50. Peaches currently about $3/lb. Fresh

blackberries at $5 a pint.

A flat of strawberries (9 pints) for about $20. Citrus for about $20

a case. Local dates for $5/lb.

 

We save 50% + at the market vs. local healthfood stores.

 

There, I've not only remembered, I've counted my blessings!

I've never tried wheatgrass....kind of scared of it.

Heard so many horror stories about the " green " flavor.

 

 

What are the benefits of adding wheatgrass to your

diet?

 

If you're convincing enough, I just might give it a

try.

Wheatgrass juice is a potent form of chlorophyll with a potent flavor.

As are all the dark green veggies.

Compare dinosaur kale with romaine lettuce with nappa cabbage.

 

Wheatgrass juice has been the cornerstone of the Hippocrates health

program for 50 years.

You want to start with a small amount. Maybe a teaspoon and see how

you feel.

Work your way up to 1-3 ounces a day.

If you're ill, you can work your way up to 8-16 ounces a day.

 

There are many nutrient analysis of wheatgrass available.

It's a very complete food when grown in good soil with good sunlight.

The potential danger is mold. If the grower doesn't know what they

are doing, the grass can develop mold on the lower part of the blades.

Some people say if it's moldy, to just cut above the mold.

If it's got mold, I won't drink it and want to know more about the

grower.

 

Good wheatgrass has a strong flavor, but it's not bitter.

You can cut it with water, celery juice, etc.

 

Most of us who've grown up on processed carbs, don't like the taste

of green.

However as your body cleans, your taste buds will change.

 

I now taste dark green as a very lean and very clean.

I can feel the energy in dark greens as well as young sprouts and

good ripe fruit.

 

My body now craves energy rich clean foods. Quite a switch from

craving alcohol, etc.!

 

Be well!

Erin,

 

Never heard of " Zebra tomatoes " . Do they have black and white stripes? Why are

they called zebra tomatoes?

Just curious.

 

Also with all the new (or new to me) varieties of tomatoes, I wonder if some of

these are lab creations. Are they all natually occuring tomatoes that I have

just never heard of?

your time is the most cherished gift of all, tomorrow is promised to no one.

Actually, they are yellow and green striped:

Pretty sure they're all naturally occurring, just rare®.

 

That site above has a great many described at:

 

http://www.ghorganics.com/heirloom_tomatoes.htm

 

and Wikipedia touches upon the many varieties of tomatoes as well:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomatoes

 

It's great fun trying as many as possible

during farmers market season.

Erin,

 

Thanks for the info!! It is funny when I grew up there were just " tomatoes " .

Just one kind. Now it is amazing all the varieties I'm learning about. I enjoy

buying different types. The rare ones, are pretty expensive though. I love

tomatoes.

I have heard they are high in carbs. I will have a hard time getting used to

eating them without salt. I LOVE a tomatoe with salt.

Jeannie,

 

Tomatoes grown in decent soil are already fairly high in sodium. As your

taste buds heal, you'll begin to notice.
