My husband is making fun of me because I bought some wheat grass. It was only $3.50 for a container of it at Kowalski (our local gourmet grocer).
I googled recipes for Wheat grass. The most obvious ones are smoothies, so I found this one and went to work.
My husband was kind of grossed out I think.
"You are going to eat it?" he exclaimed
"Yes, why do you think I bought it?" I replied
" I thought you bought it so the kids could see the roots grow" he said.
Wheat Grass is supposed to have many virtues. I forget what they are. It's supposed to be pretty rich in nutrients like iron and calcium, but more holistically it's supposed to boost immunity and aid with digestion. I don't know about all that. Evidently there is no solid medical evidence supporting that and I didn't buy it for the holistic benefits. I just wanted to try it.
I kept it alive for a few weeks in out little table top greenhouse I got from Ikea. To harvest it, just grab a small handful and snip it off close to the base. And toss in the blender with your other ingredients.
Blend it up and voila!
It actually tasted good. I couldn't taste the grass at all. My kids liked it too until they realized they were drinking something green, then they refused it. I think combining it with strong flavored like orange juice and pineapple disguised it.
