I really love this. Not sure about how safe it is for my rabbit considering the Baking Soda.. but this is one of the videos with the best quality of wheat grass I have seen! Great job!!
Thank you for your suggestions. Baking soda is not entirely necessary. I happen to live in an extremely humid climate and plants tend to get mildew on them, so I use the tinniest bit of baking soda to keep the mildew off. If you have luck growing it without the baking soda great!
I just got my appetizer tray today at Bed bath and beyond in Rockville Maryland...Actually they didn't have the trays on the floor but a helpful employee thought he saw something similar to what I described to him in the back so he got it out and it was exactly like yours..they had only 2 left (seasonal item they said) and I bought both ...about $22 each...JUST ORDERED MY ORGANIC WHEAT BERRIES...Aaaaaah I JUST CAN'T WAIT...THANKS A BUNCH :)
I had done wheat grass in trays in the past and it can be a pain but still worth it. After watching this video a few months back, I ordered the tray you are using from Amazon and tried it out. I grew great and I am planning a second tray soon. My plan is to have 2 trays going at a time and sub dividing the process so I should have 2 parts ready at a time and just work on keeping a rotation (Daily) of the process going. 1/3 of a cup started every other day will let me have juice daily. Thanks.
excellent video. i looked at so many videos with loud distracting music and no one speaking and just plain annoying. yours was great . music was lowered at appropriate times and steps moved along quickly & clearly.....this is got to be the best instructional video i've seen yet. keep up the good work.thanks so much
This has got to be the easiest way to grow wheatgrass I have ever seen!! I have grown it a few times in the trays with the dirt! Two of these trays would be great since you could keep rotating and have some growing all the time!! Can't wait to get a tray and try this!! Do you have to keep adding water to the bottom tray?
Just tried our first shot of wheat grass at a farmers market here in Ireland, I must say I didn't really like the taste of it but will continue to drink it as so good for us. Wow that is a lot of effort you put in there to get just 4 shots of juice but health is everything and worth the effort to help ones body feel healthy and happy :-)
I have grown wheat grass about 50 times but never without soil. This time I am going to use your method. Thank you for the video and BTW the Omega juicer that you use is the same one that I own--it is the most efficient and affordable juicer for wheatgrass that I have found.
This is the most amazing way to grow wheat grass! Thank you so much for the step by step instructions and where to get the growing tray. Have a great day!
I finally received my serving tray today just in time, because my wheatgrass began to sprout, so lets hooe for the best an hopefully in a few days i have wheat grass thank you so much
I love how you did this. It looks so simple and clean-ideal for an apartment dweller! Two questions: By not using soil, will it produce a grass lower in minerals and nutrients that would not be present in the water alone? Question 2: How am I going to keep my cat out of it?!! Thanks!
GREAT VIDEO...just got my appetizer tray and my wheatberries have been sprouting for the last 2 days. Good job with your step by step instructions..hope my grass turns out as well as yours did.
Wow, chefuality, you make this process look so easy, I've just started Growing Organic Wheat Grass for my Cat, she gets bored and cheaps other stuff, I'm hoping the Grass would be a better alternative, at the moment I'm using just a standard Tray and Soil, but this looks much better, Thanks!
Great THANK YOU!!! The more videos I watch of this I'm combing a lot of little tips from each of them to get the most successful Wheat Grass. You added a couple more to my batches!!! You offer a very simple and clean operation!!! :D
I'm sorry to hear that. Music is a very important element in my life and I feel very strongly about including it in my videos. I know I take the risk of turning people off to my vids, but I feel it is very important to stay true to myself.
what an awesome idea! :)) I am really considering to buy this tray to try my hand at growing wheatgrass. However does the plastic tray contains BPA? I'm concerned since I wish for my wheatgrass to be as organic as possible. thanks!
Although I know that people claimed to grow things, if you think about it, it is obvious that we people do not grow anything at all. We simply put seeds that our Dear God Created and Only God Made them grow if God Wanted. Please say that you are tending wheatgrass, to be grateful to God and to be accurate. I ask Dear God humbly to Bless you.🍩🌳🌼💐🌦🍆🍀🦃🍅🐚🐾🐀🍄🌸🍁🐱🧀🎂🍐🌻☘🌹🌺🍏🍦🌷❤️🕌🕌❤️🕌❤️
the rinsing is so they don't dry out on the counter. After the initial soaking you can't leave them completely submerged, because when they begin to sprout they would drown. So you leave them out of water, but rinse to moisten.
After watching your video, I really want to grow wheatgrass now! I am looking for a cheap appetizer tray. I live in Sunrise FL so I am also going to check out the farmers market you mentioned. Where did you buy the wheatgrass seeds?
Grow it near a sunny window. Ours does fine & tastes the same as the wheatgrass shots & wheatgrass already grown in the health food stores. As far as growing it outside, you get a higher concentration of bugs as well.
Thank you for this easy version of How to Grow Wheatgrass. I just started growing wheatgrass and I found it so interesting that you can grow wheatgrass without soil. I am going to try that out. I am interested to find out where in Ft. Lauderdale the farmers market you were referring to is? I live in Coral Springs and would love to find a farmers market around South Florida.
you can juice 7-10 days from the point you start soaking the seeds & you want to juice before it starts to split, or as soon as it starts to split until you're experienced enough to know when it's about to... I and the rest of the wheatgrass community grow in dirt. Hydro should be faster but since this technique is with plain water with no oxygenation,....
Won't the wheat grass have problems with mold and things like that sitting in all that water or no? And, one more question if you don't mind? Does this need a lot of sun? I live in an apartment complex and I live in an upstairs unit. I could put it out on my balcony. But, my balcony area doesn't get much sun at all.So, I was just wondering if I could do this effectively with no direct sunlight? Thanks! And, by the way, I love your video.
Dear chefuality, Your presentation is very simple and understandable, I tried couple of time but unable to sprout at first place, shall i need to use warm water to soak or keep at warm place during soak and first 2 days, your response and guidance to this will be highly appreciated.
Tks for the info fit...l was just worried about the mold growing at the base because l saw a pic on a website and they suggested checking the base with a camera....even tho the wheatgrass looked perfect...it was kinda scary to see all the unwanted white mold at the base of the stems. l'm into juicing now and would love to grow my own to add to the juices l make.
I wanted to get the trays right away, as I was already soaking my wheatgrass seeds and needed to buy dirt, but wanted to try this method. I didn't know that the ones from BB&B didn't have the lids until I got them home. They were on sale at BB&B and I used my 20% coupon, so they turned out to be about the same price.
Most recommend hard red winter wheat berries. (Brought to America, originally by Russian Mennonite pioneers). I have a masticating juicer, but prefer blending with water to get all the nutrients from the blades of grass.
How many days does it take to harvest?, can you decrease the steps and just put dry seeds in appetizer dish, can you use peroxide, lemon juice etc to stop mold instead. Thanks in advance, very informative video
How many inches should the wheatgrass grow before cut and what’s the ideal time it should get to that length after the draining and its in the growing stage with/without dirt?
Great video! I’m currently in the rinsing stage and have a few questions. Does the wheatgrass nutrition change if there’s no soil involved? Also, do you have to change the water under the tray while it’s growing?
Thanks for the great info. My tray came today can't wait to give it a try. Great tray for parties too! I use an Omega 320 juicer and it does wheat grass fyi for any one looking. I am wondering about growing WG with out soil I believe it will still have enough nutrients but any thought on soiless WG will be appreciated. Ignore the haters here...just stupid people
It is in Davie, on Flamingo Road just south of Griffin on the west side of the road. Good luck! They have a Facebook page, you might be able to find them that way.
Hi, Chefuality, I was interested in growing Wheat grass, I am 17 years old male a senior in highschool, although my parents don't support my raw lifestyle, i am. Ohh and to be honest I was thrilled when you said you lived in the Ft. Lauderdale Area, I reside in the area, specifically Star Island and not to be a "copy cat" but do you mind telling me where you got your appetizer countainer, weird question I know but I just like the way the grass looks in it the texture and the lushness of it all.
How many REGROWTHS / Yields, do you get from ONE batch. Should I cut ALL of it at one time, or as wanted? If I cut ALL of it, as a single person, what's the best way to preserve the excess ... ?? I purchased the same brand Appetizer tray from Amazon, as you suggested, although it has 8 sections. Wheatgrass is almost 7" ... ready to cut Wouldn't it be AWE-some if everyone's LAWN(S) were Wheatgrass. It's a gorgeous Green colour / grows quickly once sprouted ... feed animals, including cats & dogs they like & need the chlorophyl that's NOT found in their processed foods
When sprouting wheat for animal consumption they suggest soaking in a peroxide solution then rinsing prior to putting in trays. This might be something to try for human consumption as well. In addition, you might add a little peroxide to your spray water. My friend uses lemon juice.
Thanks for the video it inspired me to purchase the tray and start growing my own wheat grass. However, is this the same exact tray that you purchased? I ask this because mine did not come with covers.
Great idea using that tray to create "serving size clumps"! Isn't this a rather inefficient means of obtaining wheatgrass for home juicing though? It seems like a lot of work vs. yield when growing it. Isn't the grass literally "shot" once you harvest each clump? There aren't any nutrients in the water to help the cut grass continue growing after the initial harvest. Grass planted in dirt will continue to grow after you cut the tops off, so you might get a few more servings out of each seed. It seems like a fun activity for people who shop at nice farmers markets in Ft. Lauderdale to try, anyway... Props to the vendor that came up with idea to make up and sell those kits.
Such a beautifull wheat tray, why l clicked on.Wheat grass is good for getting rid of parasites, give it to my rabbits a few time's a month they never have intestinal bug problems.
Nice informational video and you are very charismatic, however I thought the intro was a little long, especially the part of the farmer's market (for people who don't live in south fl). Thanks!
Do you ever run the pulp back through the juicer a second time? If so do you find that you get any more juice out of it? Even if you were getting more juice out of it, it would hard to tell. Also, how many times can you grow and cut the grass? Thanks, great video!
This is a good video. I learned something about wheat grass. Nice! I was wondering how long it took to actually grow, so i looked down in the comments section (i wondered if someone had asked this question). The odd thing is how many sad people out there wanted to whine about this video (music being too loud, duration etc). This is a nice personality litmus test. If after watching this video you felt compelled to write some shitty comment about the music being too loud or the fact that you were so bothered by having to sit through 2 minutes until the actual instructions come on, then you are a sad loser and growing wheat grass is far down the list of things you need to do to improve your life. Honestly. Thanks again for the video !
Hello. I found the tray, but it did not come with a cover as seen in your video. Can you tell me where you purchased the to cover. Thank you very much?
I have heard that the wheat grass is more nutritious if you grow it in a small amount of soil medium rather than just growing in pure water. Anyone looked into this fact? They say the wheat grass pulls lots of trace minerals and nutrients from the soil that it can't get from plain water. This is an easier less messier way, but I think I would rather have the more nutrient dense wheat grass if I had to choose.
You need the digestive system of a cow to eat the pulp of wheat grass. Some sprouts you raise to juice, some to eat. If you want the vitamins and minerals sprouts provide the Queen sprout is alfalfa. It would be a lot easier and tastier in that spinach, honey and mango mix.
Hello Daniela, thanks for the video! How often do you change the water in the appetizer tray? Or if you mentioned that already, can somebody else please repeat that? Thanks again, Richard
Hi! thanks for the video, I tried this at home and was not successful my first time. Initially my seeds did not sprout as quickly, or as fully as yours did in the video. Then, on my appetizer tray I do not have the lids, so I covered with plastic wrap, do you think that is too sealed? Then, even after spraying with the water and baking soda I got a lot of mold. How full should the water level be under the seeds? Should it be touching the seeds or just below? If you could give any advice on how to improve the next time I try I would appreciate the help! Thanks
I would not cover with plastic wrap,directly this would course sweating which courses mold, maybe use a carboard box for a lid put clad wrap over the box, like a see throught box and if this still sweats, but holes in the box, put the tray in the box, and no seed should not seat in water, i hope this help,all the best anyway
hi everyone. Iam from iraq, have never seen or heard about appetizer dish before. and i really really need to plant wheat grass for my rabbit. so can i still get the wheat without appetizer dish and use soil instead?
Yes, the wheat grass grows best in soil. With her method you run a high risk of getting toxic mold on the wheat grass. Soil is always the best method to grow. I believe she lives in an apartment and this was a convenient indoor method for her.
The Farmer's Market is great! It is in Davie, on the west side of Flamingo Road, a little South of Griffin. It is VERY easy to miss! There is usually a little sign pointing to it. It's close to a nursery. Tell Sheila I said hi!
mam , will baking soda really keep the mold away, because i am facing mould problem every time i grow wheatgrass. Will soaking of wheatgrass in hydrogen peroxide help me to keep the mold away, please reply.
The point of wheatgrass is that it draws more then any plant all the nutrients from the soil making it nutrient rich. This way may make grass that's pretty but does it have all the nutritional value of that coming from a good organic rich soil?
That's a really good question. I have read different articles online regarding the need for soil when growing wheatgrass and how that may, or may not, affect the mineral absorption of the grass. Ideally, growing wheatgrass in soil is best, however, if you can't this is an alternative method that still provides you with some benefits. As for you cat, I suggest keep it as high up as possible! I have two and that's what I do :)
Now I am also unclear on this. When fill the bottom of the tray with water, you should fill it high enough to cover the seeds once you out each individual tray containing the seeds? I haven't received my tray yet so maybe it will make more sense once I get it.
I really love this.
Not sure about how safe it is for my rabbit considering the Baking Soda..
but this is one of the videos with the best quality of wheat grass I have seen!
Great job!!
chef, I liked the music - just realized this vid is a decade old. Wheat grass is still amazing years later.
Thank you for your suggestions. Baking soda is not entirely necessary. I happen to live in an extremely humid climate and plants tend to get mildew on them, so I use the tinniest bit of baking soda to keep the mildew off. If you have luck growing it without the baking soda great!

She talks to much

Anything?

“I’ve been buying my wheatgrass from Sheila”. Love it 😍!
Thanks for the video,.. Just starting to grow some wheatgrass for juicing and it's good to get multiple methods and such to help get started.
Wow, chefuality, you make this process look so easy, I've just started Growing Organic Wheat Grass for my Cat, she gets bored and cheaps other stuff, I'm hoping the Grass would be a better alternative, at the moment I'm using just a standard Tray and Soil, but this looks much better, Thanks!

good thing you pointed this out, captain.
i found that chewing the cod strengthens teeth and gums. how else do cows and horses get such pretty smiles
I'm sorry to hear that. Music is a very important element in my life and I feel very strongly about including it in my videos. I know I take the risk of turning people off to my vids, but I feel it is very important to stay true to myself.
what an awesome idea! :)) I am really considering to buy this tray to try my hand at growing wheatgrass. However does the plastic tray contains BPA? I'm concerned since I wish for my wheatgrass to be as organic as possible. thanks!
Nvm I've googled the tray and it is indeed BPA free. :)
Baking soda changes the PH levels so the little nasties do not grow on the plants. Changing the water also helps prevent other nasties from growing.

Also, I ordered the Prodyne you have a link to, but it came without lids!! Make sure you all buy one with lids if following this tutorial.
Hi. Where did you buyed that container? Your way, it's a nice way to grow wheatgrass. Thank for the video.

I agree 100%! I've actually started including the wheatgrass in my smoothies!
cool. I was wondering why the special tray, but that's pretty darn handy.
you could not have made that simpler im going to do this at the weekend thanks a million!!!

How many days does it take to harvest?, can you decrease the steps and just put dry seeds in appetizer dish, can you use peroxide, lemon juice etc to stop mold instead. Thanks in advance, very informative video
Can you regrow for second or third batches with this method? Amazing that it grows on the kitchen counter!
How many inches should the wheatgrass grow before cut and what’s the ideal time it should get to that length after the draining and its in the growing stage with/without dirt?
I love the tray idea.enjoy.take care

Wouldn't it be AWE-some if everyone's LAWN(S) were Wheatgrass. It's a gorgeous Green colour / grows quickly once sprouted ... feed animals, including cats & dogs they like & need the chlorophyl that's NOT found in their processed foods
You would have to replant every year...that is the main problem with planting as grass.
Not a problem when having / maintaining great health; AND, it's far less expensive than paying for designer drugs that don't cure anything ...
This is very nice video. I need this kind of trey. Where can I buy this tray from? I tried looking at Walmart, Target, and Macy's so far.
Mahendra Patel Never mind I just looked at your Info. Thank you.
chefuality, I've heard it been said time and time again that humidity in the growing process will cause mold to grow on the wheatgrass.

Wow, who would have thought so many aholes would leave such bastardy comments on a simple clip about wheatgrass?
Anyway, thanks for sharing your info.
Brett Houston Tube Tell me about it! It's easier just to stop watching the video and move on to something else.
🤣
Great video, thanks - I've been looking for a way to grow Wheatgrass without dirt.
sodium bicarbonate is a good alkalizing additive. It keeps the mold away and in small amounts is good for you.
Great video thank you.... Why do you use backing soda in water?
This is so cute! Totally gonna try this at home :) btw can I grow wheatgrass during winter?
I've seen over videos where no baking soda is used. What is the purpose of the baking soda? And thank u for the video
Great idea using that tray to create "serving size clumps"! Isn't this a rather inefficient means of obtaining wheatgrass for home juicing though?

Hi chefuality,
Really impressed with your video !! Can you tell me if the water in the appetizer tray should touch the wheat grains or not ?
Why the backing soda in ths spray botter? Thank for sharing!Hi from PR🏝
When you cut the grass to put in a juicer, does it keep growing back.... Like when you mow the lawn?
What was the baking soda spray for? For moulds? That's a neat dish to grow wheatgrass btw.
The baking soda spray is to prevent mold from growning
Have you ever tried adding trace minerals to make the wheat grass greener?
Such a beautifull wheat tray, why l clicked on.Wheat grass is good for getting rid of parasites, give it to my rabbits a few time's a month they never have intestinal bug problems.
Never mind my question. I saw your link. Thanks!!!
By the way, that song is "Generator Second Floor," contrary to the pop up cite at the beginning.
Nice informational video and you are very charismatic, however I thought the intro was a little long, especially the part of the farmer's market (for people who don't live in south fl). Thanks!
Once it is green, does it need direct sunlight? I like the appetizer tray but don’t have a place in the sun once it turns green if needed.
Do you ever run the pulp back through the juicer a second time? If so do you find that you get any more juice out of it? Even if you were getting more juice out of it, it would hard to tell. Also, how many times can you grow and cut the grass? Thanks, great video!
i like the fact that your do not have to use soil, thanks i will try it :)
Excellent video. Thanks for creating & sharing.
This is a good video. I learned something about wheat grass. Nice! I was wondering how long it took to actually grow, so i looked down in the comments section (i wondered if someone had asked this question).

Honestly.
Thanks again for the video !
So, so happy that you have found this useful! Thank you so very much for sharing!!!!
When you first put them in the tray, they kind of just sit there, however, as they start to grow, the roots naturally start heading towards the water
Hello. I found the tray, but it did not come with a cover as seen in your video. Can you tell me where you purchased the to cover. Thank you very much?
Are you suppose to change the water tray underneath everyday, or are you not to fill it with water after the first day?
I have heard that the wheat grass is more nutritious if you grow it in a small amount of soil medium rather than just growing in pure water. Anyone looked into this fact? They say the wheat grass pulls lots of trace minerals and nutrients from the soil that it can't get from plain water.

Hi, if you use hydroponic wheatgrass why don't use the roots? or at least I can't see roots at your juicer. Thanks :)
Hey thanks for the vid! Going to try this technique out. Is the SW Farmer's Market still around? I'm in Miami Beach funny enough. Freelance Whales
I bought the vegetable tray at amazon, same you point us to but it doesn't come with covers. Cover with dish towel????
Where did you get yours?
Hi... is this so called growing wheat grass hydroponic? so part of the roots is in the water?
I want one of those appetizer trays....
Where did you buy the strainer/colander that you used to drain the water?
can i use a blender? blend the grass with spinach, frozen mango, and honey? or do i really need a juicer as u did?
You need the digestive system of a cow to eat the pulp of wheat grass. Some sprouts you raise to juice, some to eat.
If you want the vitamins and minerals sprouts provide the Queen sprout is alfalfa. It would be a lot easier and tastier
in that spinach, honey and mango mix.
Hello Daniela, thanks for the video! How often do you change the water in the appetizer tray? Or if you mentioned that already, can somebody else please repeat that? Thanks again, Richard
is it OK to use stainless steel strainer for the seeds? isn't plastic or ceramic more suitable to not come with chemical reaction? thanks
Hi! thanks for the video, I tried this at home and was not successful my first time. Initially my seeds did not sprout as quickly, or as fully as yours did in the video. Then, on my appetizer tray I do not have the lids, so I covered with plastic wrap, do you think that is too sealed? Then, even after spraying with the water and baking soda I got a lot of mold. How full should the water level be under the seeds? Should it be touching the seeds or just below? If you could give any advice on how to improve the next time I try I would appreciate the help! Thanks
I would not cover with plastic wrap,directly this would course sweating which courses mold, maybe use a carboard box for a lid put clad wrap over the box, like a see throught box and if this still sweats, but holes in the box, put the tray in the box, and no seed should not seat in water, i hope this help,all the best anyway
hi everyone. Iam from iraq, have never seen or heard about appetizer dish before. and i really really need to plant wheat grass for my rabbit. so can i still get the wheat without appetizer dish and use soil instead?
Yes you can :)
jeet sangha STOP calls him a fucker. He’s a Bunny 🐇 Show some respect! And Bunny’s 🐰 Eat Greens you ignorant jeehad!
Yes, the wheat grass grows best in soil. With her method you run a high risk of getting toxic mold on the wheat grass. Soil is always the best method to grow. I believe she lives in an apartment and this was a convenient indoor method for her.

The Farmer's Market is great! It is in Davie, on the west side of Flamingo Road, a little South of Griffin. It is VERY easy to miss! There is usually a little sign pointing to it. It's close to a nursery. Tell Sheila I said hi!
mam , will baking soda really keep the mold away, because i am facing mould problem every time i grow wheatgrass. Will soaking of wheatgrass in hydrogen peroxide help me to keep the mold away, please reply.
The point of wheatgrass is that it draws more then any plant all the nutrients from the soil making it nutrient rich. This way may make grass that's pretty but does it have all the nutritional value of that coming from a good organic rich soil?
That's a really good question. I have read different articles online regarding the need for soil when growing wheatgrass and how that may, or may not, affect the mineral absorption of the grass. Ideally, growing wheatgrass in soil is best, however, if you can't this is an alternative method that still provides you with some benefits. As for you cat, I suggest keep it as high up as possible! I have two and that's what I do :)
Hi,
Could you post the address of that Southwest Farmers Market you mention in FLL? It doesn't come out in search....
Now I am also unclear on this. When fill the bottom of the tray with water, you should fill it high enough to cover the seeds once you out each individual tray containing the seeds? I haven't received my tray yet so maybe it will make more sense once I get it.
where is the farmers market you talk about , thanks
