hooked on wheatgrass

The adventures of wheatgrass have begun at our house! In JP's quest to get us on the right track, all but one @3513 have tried it (and I'm not naming names) as of this morning.

What exactly IS wheatgrass, you ask?
Wheatgrass is young wheat which is sprouted and grown for about 7-10 days. The deep green cereal grass is harvested (cut) and juiced in specially designed wheatgrass juicers. Thousands of health-conscious people drink wheatgrass juice every day.
Benefits  include increased energy, improved digestion, rids the body of toxins, improved fertility (don't need that benefit), and on and on...  but rather than retype everything that it can do for you, just check out some of the facts listed here and the testaments of others on their blog. This is our first harvest of three trays that grew from wheatberries over the last two weeks.  So far, so good.  Tastes sweet and smells like freshly cut grass (hmmmm, cannot say that's my favorite).
Unless we start turning green (you know, like eating too many carrots can make you turn orange), I think this will become part of our routine going forward.  Many hands to turn the crank, water the wheatgrass, and take a shot!
