How Do I Prepare the Wheatgrass to Juice?

I just bought a tray of wheatgrass at the Wholefoods store. How do I prepare the wheatgrass for juicing? Can I put it in my juicier?

Eryn's Reply: Alright, cut a bunch (hand full) of wheatgrass as close to the soil line as possible. There is lots of good nutrition next to that soil line.

Next, hold the bunch of wheatgrass blades in your squeezed hand and just run some water over the wheatgrass. I use my kitchen sink for this.

You can kind of open your hand (without letting the blades of grass fall out of your hand when the water from your faucet is lightly and gently rinsing them off) a bit so that you rinse off all the blades of grass entirely - from top to bottom.

Normally, when I grow the wheatgrass at home, I just rinse off the bottom of the wheatgrass. However, since you bought your wheatgrass tray at the store, I would just go ahead and rinse off the entire blade - top to bottom. You do not need to pat them dry.

Next, put your bunch of cut wheatgrass blades into your wheatgrass juicer as I show in my Hurricane Juicer video demonstration. I like to put a smaller bunch into my manual juicer, as it is easier to turn the handle.

Some people like to put the top tip of the wheatgrass blade in first into their wheatgrass juicer - they think it works best. I really don't have a clear favorite, whether it be top or bottom of wheatgrass in first into the juicer. You can experiment. Probably more people put the tip in first.

Then juice away and enjoy your invigorating wheatgrass juice!
