How to germinate wheat yourself to make wheatgrass

Germination of sprouts is one of the most important stages in preparing high-quality juice. To do this, you will need selected grains - even and large. It is not recommended to use seeds that are deformed, dark or have a strange smell.

Instructions for germinating wheat at home:

1. Rinse the selected seeds in cold tap water.
2. Place them in a clay or glass container and fill with warm water until it covers the seeds completely. Remove those that float to the surface within an hour - they are infertile.
3. Leave the seeds in the water for 11-12 hours.
4. Drain and add fresh water.
5. Transplant the embryos into soil as soon as they begin to germinate. To do this, pour soil into the tray, spread out the grains and add another 2 cm of soil.
6. Water and cover with a damp cloth. When the sprouts sprout, remove the fabric.

The seeds are watered 2 times a day.As soon as the sprouts grow 15 cm (this will take 10-12 days), they are cut off and sent for juice preparation.

Important! For the next planting, the soil is changed, as wheat depletes the soil.

How to make juice at home

Juice from self-sprouted wheat is made in several ways.

You will need one of two devices:

• Auger juicer;
• blender.

Step-by-step instruction

Technology for preparing wheatgrass in a blender:

1. Cut the green grass and chop it with scissors into pieces 2-3 cm long.
2. Pour some water into the blender bowl and add the chopped sprouts.
3. At medium speed, chop the greens until smooth. Apply the grass in portions to achieve an even result.
4. Take a cloth or cheesecloth and line a plate. Place the mixture from the blender on top and strain.
5. Squeeze out the remaining juice with your hands and remove the foam.

The second option is to run the greens through an auger juicer. The juice is ready to use.

Important! It is not recommended to juice wheat sprouts in large quantities. Its effectiveness decreases significantly after 15-20 minutes. After a few hours, the drink completely loses its therapeutic value.

How to drink correctly

The ideal time to drink juice is in the morning on an empty stomach, 15-20 minutes before the first meal.

At first, you should limit yourself to 20 ml of juice (1-2 tsp each). If there is no negative reaction from the body, gradually increase the dose to 50-100 ml per day. It is not recommended to consume more than 100 ml - it will be harmful to health.

Don't be alarmed if you feel nauseous. This is the body’s response to the cleansing process launched by wheat sprouts.
