Planting Tips
How and When to Plant Wheatgrass
The correct seeds are the first step in growing wheatgrass. Wheatgrass seeds are firm red winter wheat seeds, though they are also known as wheatberries. You can easily find wheatgrass seeds online or at health food stores. If you intend to eat the grass, you should acquire organic seeds from a seed supplier or agricultural supply store.
Fill a 1-quart glass container with the wheatgrass seeds. Rinse the seeds well by adding filtered room-temperature water, closing the lid, and shaking. Use a strainer or a tiny-holed lid to carefully drain the water. Cover the seeds with freshly filtered water after filtering.
Leave the seeds soaked at room temperature for eight to twelve hours. After that, strain and rinse the sprouts. Let the seeds lie in the drained but moist jar for another 8 to 12 hours, rinsing and draining until the roots form if there are no tiny white roots visible.
