Tried juicing some wheat grass tonight. Thanks for Kari for growing them for me! It wasn't as bad as I expected, but maybe it's because I was expecting the worst.
Took a bunch of the grass, washed them down, then put them through the juicer. I got the juicer from my mother-in-law, but used it only once to try it out. Apparently, this is a good one because not all juicers can handle grass. Did a little research on the web regarding wheat grass and its benefits. One of the websites actually mentions the Green Star juicer I have as the type needed to juice wheat grass.
I juiced enough to get a shot glass worth. Read about people taking wheat grass shots and it was advised not to drink too much. Some of the side effects are nausea. I held my breath, took the shot (I actually sensed some sweetness, which I read someone else mention), and chased it down with some grape juice I happened to have. It's not something I'd drink chilling out w/ some crackers or anything, but it was manageable. I did have some aftertaste of grass, but as I said, it was manageable. I was able to get another shot's worth which I'll save for tomorrow.
