Grape, Pear & Wheat Grass Juice is absolutely amazingly delicious, and I know you will be wanting to make it regularly.

Not just grape & pear, but apple too – but you might be wondering…wheat grass?

Yes, it’s not only for health nuts, it’s also tasty with a unique flavor. It does a body good.

Wheat grass should be harvested when it is 6 – 7 inches high, and it will regenerate itself a couple of times. However, it won’t be as potent with subsequent regenerations.

Tip: You can use the container to re-seed the wheat grass, and you will get a crop as good as the original one. It is fairly inexpensive, so you might think of just purchasing another container of wheat grass.

Grape, Pear & Wheat Grass Juice:

In this cooking show, I used Organic Wheat Grass Living Greens by Sprouts for Life that I got at Harvest Barn Country Markets. I just snip off what I need as close to the bottom of the grass as I can, and put the container holding the rest of the wheat grass to keep in my refrigerator. Check out my review below.

Harvest Barn Country Markets are located in:

Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
St. Catharines, ON

For making my juices, I like to use an electric juicer that separates the pulp from the juice – it’s fast & easy.

When juicing wheat grass, I have found that I need to place the wheat grass into the juicer with the tops going in first – for some reason it just yields more juice, and then I like to follow up with the hardest of the ingredients that I will be using to compress the wheat grass and push it through.
