I agree with you from my experience. I have a juicer and a I also bought a
manual grinder for grinding out the juice from the wheat grass (from a
health food store) in order to determine whether I wanted to raise my own
wheat grass in that I could not buy it readily. I can tell you that
hand-grinding wheat grass is not for the faint of heart, but it will do it;
but if I were serious about using it a lot, I would buy a good electric
grinder-- the best they make; the research I read recommended just that.
Good luck.
Anything elese that can be done with wheatgrass?
Yes, compost it after juicing.
