My airplane companions...a massive bag ofwheatgrass to chew on, and my little sapote seeds.
(I got them through security w/o the x-ray too...)
If you dont have a wheatgrass juicer, consider just chewing
on little bits at a time until your teeth have juiced out every last bit
of chlorophyll and then just spit out the super-dry pulp. This will give
your jaw the workout it is missing out on when we are drinking
smoothies all the time. We NEED to work our jaw muscles.
Word to the wise though...BRING FLOSS. Grass will very likely get
stuck in your molars. It is like natural floss, but you will need some man-made
stuff to get out all the leftovers.
I felt sorry for the two people next to me on the plane...
#1...the smell might have turned their stomachs, for some reason grass
doesnt jive with many people. Too fresh and veggie smelling I guess.
And #2...they probably thought that they were placed next to some
crazy person who thought he was a cow chewing on grass the whole time.
If they only knew how good it was for them. Same with wild foraging.
People stare and stare, but we know the truth, and its like a
magical deflector of all self-doubt. Those cooked opinions just whiz
right on past you...no second glances.
After I got to Minnesota, I did start juicing.This cup was 16 sweet ounces of the smoothest wheatgrass juice Ive ever had.
I cant believe I drank it all in one swoop, but my mom had a ton ready for
me and I had to make due. 16 ounces! No real digestive issues with it either...
maybe a little rumble about an hour later, but thats it.
Here's the skinny on the seawater solution.
They harvest the water 20 miles off of the eastern coast of Florida.
That is way past any toxins, although the ocean is pretty clean.
They have it all tested, and everything checks out toxin free.
I add 3/4 of a tablespoon to one gallon of water, and then spray that
onto my grass, twice a day, for about 5 or 6 days. Dont put them in DIRECT
sunlight...INDIRECT sunlight is the key. They love it.
Check www.growgreens.com for more info. One gallon will last a long time.
I'll be making a video of this very soon to show everyone the nitty-gritty.
With this, I feel that we might not ever have to worry about buying
greens again. I love a good massaged kale salad more than anyone,
but now it could just be optional. Its all about the minerals!
And plus...the FRESHEST food possible. I actually felt bad harvesting the grass,
because I felt a pretty strong connection to that first crop.
I suppose when you start worrying about the feelings of plants,
you've likely come a pretty long way.
No more soil for wheatgrass...seriously, you dont need it.
Lay down a paper towel, then spread the seeds that you soaked
for 12 hours onto the towel. One nice layer will do. Mist it down,
and cover it up with another tray on top, or moist newspaper.
After two days, you should be able to take the covers off and let them breathe.
Then just keep misting it down.
Hope this helps...glad everyone is digging the site too.

I added the photos and the text, but the design and details were all them.
Be sure to check out the permaculture info too! Im going to be speaking about
my project at Raw Spirit Fest this September as well.
Peace everyone...keep it juicy.
