Can't Find Soil Grown Wheatgrass
A few days ago we received an inquiry from a wheatgrass user in Manhattan:
"I live in NYC and am trying to find wheatgrass sold in soil/ in a tray. I understand you don't offer this, but do you know of anyone who does? Thank you for your help!"
There is a grower that supplies soil grown wheatgrass to some stores in NYC, but this grower is not certified organic. Who knows where they get their soil from? I was in New York City last winter and went into a Jamba Juice Store. When I saw wheatgrass juice listed on their menu I thought, great - I'll have a shot. But when I saw the tray of wheatgrass I changed my mind. It was short, falling over, and yellow. I asked to see it up close. There was no soil for the roots to obtain nutrients and obviously it had not even been watered. I feel bad for anyone who reads about the great benefits of drinking wheatgrass juice, tries it in a store like this, and thinks this is what wheatgrass is.
