Cut the grass just above the growing medium using clean scissors and prepare it promptly for the freshest result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA dedicated wheatgrass or slow juicer is generally the easiest way to extract the juice because wheatgrass blades are naturally fibrous. The resulting juice can be served on its own in a small portion or combined with other freshly prepared juices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLive Wheatgrass Ready to Harvest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFresh tray-grown wheatgrass allows you to cut only the amount required rather than relying on grass that has already been harvested.
