Select Seeds

Choose high-quality wheatgrass seeds, preferably organic. You can find them at gardening stores. Plant the seeds after soaking them in water for eight to twelve hours. This helps to speed up germination and ensures better growth.

Prepare Your Containers

 Use shallow trays or pots with drainage holes. Fill them with a nutrient-rich potting mix, leaving about an inch of space at the top.

Sow Seeds

Evenly distribute the moistened seeds around the ground, then gently press them down, cover with a thin layer of soil and sprinkle with water.

Water and Provide Light

 Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Place the trays in a sunny spot or under grow lights for about 12-16 hours a day.

 Harvest

After about 7-10 days, when the grass is around 6-8 inches tall, use scissors to cut the wheatgrass just above the soil level. Enjoy fresh wheatgrass juice or add it to smoothies.
