Wheat Grass Love

We have been enjoying our wheat in a different way.




First you take some wheat (BTW--this wheat was in the can for 7 years and still sprouted):


Soak the kernals for about 12 hours and POP! out come the little sprouts:

Then place the little babies in some good, moist soil:

Make sure they get some light and stay moist and voila! beautiful green grass:

Michal...you know I've thought about drinking it. That's about as far as I've gotten. :)

That's it. We are starting some today. I think it will be a while till we can see actual signs of life outside. So, can you eat it too? Like a cow? I guess we shall see.

Oooo, thank you for reminding me to do this. Every year I kick myself for forgetting to do this in time for Easter.

Very cool- I have a lot that I haven't canned that is still in bags- now I am tempted to experiment with it! The picks are of course wonderful!
