Champion Juicer - and re Wheatgrass and WG question!

[Guest guest]

Yes, I agree with Tirza the Champion is a getter and a keeper! The

homogenization blank is great for not only making ice cream from

frozen banana and sherbets from frozen berries, but it also can

double as a sort of food processor/grinder, which makes the foods

easier to digest. And it is just such a good workhorse, simple to

use, lasts next to forever, very few parts to clean. (Once you have

done it a number of times it becomes automatic and very easy.) It's

a classic, and classics are good for a long, long time to come.

 

I prefer to blend my greens rather than juice them anyhow, though I

don't know about blending wheatgrass and how that would work out.

However there is a low-tech and free alternative for wheatgrass, as

long as you have good molars to use: just chew and chew and chew and

spit out the fiber. It is nice to know that most grasses are not

poisonous to people and if ever in a survival situation, chew grass

as much as possible, spitting out the cellulose. Or maybe it is okay

to swallow the fiber of wheatgrass and other grasses? Anyone know???

I mean, I know the body can't break down the cellulose, but would it

be a good broom for sweeping clean the intestines anyhow? I always

like to think in terms of survival mode just in case it would ever

become good to know, and if in survival mode with good water being

scarce I would not relish spitting out even that little bit of

moisture in the " cud " if it would be okay to swallow it!

I've wondered why we can't just chew and swallow the wheat grass too! Like

you said - it would be a good cleaner ;-)

I guess you could swallow it if you were equipped like cows are with

four stomachs and the ability to bring it up and " chew the cud " .

I'm so confused. *Why* would you spit out the fiber? Why not swallow

it, and get the advantage of the whole plant/fiber/etc.? In addition

to the vitamins/minerals, etc., you would get the fiber " broom " .
