How to Grow Wheatgrass

1. Soak the Seeds: Begin by soaking a desired amount of wheat grain seeds in water for about 12 hours. This initiates the germination process.
2. Prepare the Growing Tray: Select a shallow tray and fill it with a thin layer (about an inch) of organic potting soil. Ensure the tray has holes at the bottom for drainage.
3. Sow the Seeds: After soaking, drain the seeds and spread them evenly over the surface of the soil. There’s no need to bury them; just press them gently into the soil.
4. Cover the Seeds: Lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil or a damp paper towel. This helps keep the moisture around the seeds consistent.
5. Watering: Mist the seeds gently with water to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. It’s important to maintain a balance – the soil should be damp but not soaking wet.
6. Place in Indirect Sunlight: Position the tray in a spot where it will receive indirect sunlight. Wheatgrass does not require direct sunlight and can grow in partial light.
7. Daily Care: Water the seeds lightly every day, ensuring the soil stays moist. If you used a paper towel cover, you can remove it once you see the seeds sprouting, typically after 2-3 days.
8. Harvest Time: In about 7-10 days, the wheatgrass will be about 6-8 inches tall and ready to harvest. Use scissors to cut the grass close to the base.

Tips for Growing Wheatgrass:

• Ensure good air circulation around the growing tray to prevent mold growth.
• Avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to mold.
• If growing indoors, a sunny windowsill that receives indirect light is an ideal location.
• Wheatgrass can be grown year-round, providing a continuous supply for juicing or culinary use.
