How to Grow Wheatgrass - Part One

This first part of the How to Grow Wheatgrass series was made in November, showing how 30 day old wheatgrass grown in cold weather is much darker green and tastes better than artificially-grown tray wheatgrass. Part two shows the same field in December and January at below freezing temperatures.

The foundational scientific research on wheatgrass was with plants that were grown outdoors in cool weather in the world-famous soils of Northeastern, Kansas. True wheatgrass grown under natural conditions is much richer in enzymes and green food nutrients than wheatgrass grown in trays. It is also much darker green, with thick, fleshy leaves rather than the spindly, relatively pale leaves of tray grown wheatgrass. Wheatgrass is a cold weather crop. The seeds are planted about 3 inches apart in rows 7 inches apart. This gives the plant the space nature intended so it can develop properly. True wheatgrass has a good flavor because it is grown in natural conditions.

The true wheatgrass products sold by Pines International are grown outdoors in cold or cool temperatures. These are the same conditions that were used for growing the wheatgrass used in research that is the scientific basis for all the literature on wheatgrass.

There is an obvious difference between wheatgrass grown in accordance with the research and greenhouse wheatgrass:
