Homemade Wheatgrass Powder

What does one do with an aging half tray of grown wheatgrass?  Juice it, dehydrate it and keep it as a powder, of course!  How much wheatgrass juice powder does a half of a 1020 tray yield?  Take a look below:

If I do this again, I would want to do a much larger quantity.  Scraping the thin, dried sheet from the dehydrating liquids tray was a little tougher than I thought it would be.  In the thicker spots, it seemed to come off a bit better.  Perhaps if I started with even more liquid, this scraping step would have gone smoother.

I was surprised at how quickly the liquid dehydrated.  It was set for 105 degrees F in order to keep the temperature low enough to maximize the nutrition in the final powder form, and I was scraping it off the tray by lunch time.

Next step in this experiment … rehydrating it and ingesting the reconstituted wheatgrass juice.

One thought on “Homemade Wheatgrass Powder

  1. Hi, so I am dehydrating the wheatgrass I just grew in a 10×20 tray. I saw somewhere that a tray half that size yielded four tablespoons of wheatgrass powder. I don’t know what to expect, but I can tell it takes a lot of wheatgrass to make the powder. I think I like it doing it this way instead of from liquid, but I don’t know how it will turn out.
    Thank you,
