This Boutinko family could do us good more than all the medical services combined.

What do you mean by using the pulp on your skin...What's the purpose of that?...Also I've heard that some people think certain grasses are poisonous...is that not true? Thanks!

[leahcimrac]

Juice grass and live! My god I'm so happy I've stumbled upon raw foods. I eat now for hardly any money. I have loads of grass and dandelions growing out my back garden. I juice the grass and then use the pulp for making teas and stocks for soups etc. i blend them sometimes and also eat the dandelions.

[robotboy66]

good topic. i find the guy condescending.

[totmirmis]

there is a grass called lolium temulentum thet is very toxic, it resembels wheat, and often grow near wheat. Don't know if it's in the US but it's in Europe, Asia and Australia. Be careful.

Sergei is awesome! So helpful, funny, genuine and enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge with everyone!

[TheOneAndOnlyMichel]

I thought grass was indigestible by human stomachs, so it is true that only after a good blending the grass' juice should be taken and the pulp to not be ingested.

Marihuana cures cancer, to be exact: the marihuana oil. More on this when you search for Rick Simpson

Cows have only 4 stomachs. No creature has 7 stomachs~

[jeshika22]

This guy needs to specify that all of the SEEDS of grass are edible and fibrous and nutritious etc. Cows have evolved digestive systems to eat the blades and stalks of grass, but humans have not. Wheat, barley, oats, rice, sorghum, millet, etc. are all grasses but we eat only the seeds which have been polished, ground, boiled, or steamed, sometimes undergoing all or some of those processes before being eaten by humans. Unless all you want is fiber, I don't suggest eating ground grass blades.

Good video, and erybody laughed at me when I ate grass as a kid
