Juicing Wheatgrass – That’s How It Works

Juicing wheatgrass – that’s how it works

Instructions for two servings of wheatgrass juice (if you want to juice more, just adjust the amounts):

1. First, of course, you need wheatgrass – 113 grams for two servings. Using clean and sharp scissors, cut the ready-to-harvest grass about 1.5 cm off the ground.
2. Now wash the blades of grass thoroughly under lukewarm running water. It is best to use a sieve.
3. Once the wheatgrass has been cleaned of all dirt, cut it into large pieces with a sharp knife. The smaller you cut the grass, the easier it will be to juice later.
4. Now it’s time to start juicing: don’t even try a conventional centrifugal juicer – it will clog up immediately with the weed. Use a juicer with an auger. Place the chopped stalks in the mortar, but no more than a quarter of the total. Place a large enough container under the juicer spout to catch the juice.
5. Use the pestle to thoroughly grind the straws. You have to use a little force to do this. Add a cup of water and continue grinding. You should make a stirring motion with the pestle so that the grass can be crushed better.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have ground all the weed. In total, you should use about 500 to 750 milliliters of water. A fine paste is then formed.
7. Now put this paste on a clean linen cloth, twist it tightly together at the top and squeeze the paste out vigorously over a glass – the homemade wheatgrass juice is ready.
