Wheat grass is grown.  About an eighth of the tray is harvested.  The manual cast iron juicer is assembled and clamped down on the counter.  And the first two ounces of wheat grass juice have been extracted.

I must admit, it was a more pleasant experience that I had imagined.  The wheat grass juice did taste grassy, as expected, but it wasn’t quite as pungent as I thought it would be.  There was a mild citrus flavor in the background as well.  The tip I saw about licking some cinnamon off the back of my hand to take the grassy after-taste away was spot on!  It worked like a charm.

The twins, although super excited to try it, must have had higher hopes for this green concoction and were subsequently disappointed with the grassy flavor.  I think dad will be the sole beneficiary of this new source of highly dense nutrients.  Go GREEN !!
