Harvesting Wheatgrass
When the leaves are about 7 to 8 inches tall, cut the wheatgrass with a pair of scissors or knife. Cut the wheatgrass as close as possible to the soil. The nutrients are concentrated close to the bottom.![Harvesting Wheatgrass](image/grow_step9_3.jpg)
Do not let the grass grow much longer. It will become tougher. It will also yield less juice and it will become bitter.
Note: The wheatgrass will re-grow once your harvest it. However, it is not recommended to juice subsequent batches since after the first harvest, it contains much less of the nutrients.
