One of the friendly workers handed my son a package of wheatgrass seeds. "This is what we grind our wheat flour from, and if you plant it, it will grow tall grass in less than a week!" she said.
How fun! A little science project to do at home.
Now, I had heard that people rave about the health benefits of wheatgrass also....I have never tried it myself but was willing to give it a try. Of course there is varied opinion on the benefits of wheat grass. Here is an article from Mayo Clinic.
I also know that wheatgrass smoothies can be VERY expensive at a health store and/or restaurant. Our wheatgrass is probably tall enough now to snip off a little to add to a smoothie. Who will be the first to taste it, I wonder???
So, my Frugal Friday tip will be to try growing your own wheatgrass at home.
Even if we don't end up eating it, it makes a cute little decoration for our spring home decor! :)

Thanks for stopping by Fiskerelli Bellies. How did I never think of growing my own wheatgrass? I think I always assume I need to buy things like this, but I'm slowing learning to do for myself. We are also a family of five making do on one income.
ReplyDeleteI am actually growing some right now! It is growing in basket for an Easter photo shot for my website.
