The true wheatgrass was darker green and nearly as thick as syrup. The greenhouse tray wheatgrass was pale by comparison and the juice was watery. Many claims are made about wheatgrass, such as it’s having 92 mineral compounds; its being equal to pounds of vegetables; and numerous medical claims. Nearly all these claims come from research by a team of scientists led by Dr. Charles Schnabel. This extensive body of research by the medical and scientific community spanned several decades beginning in 1931 This video shows how these scientists grew their wheatgrass and was shot in the same fields and in the same laboratory they used. Schnabel, Kohler and other scientiest found incredibly high levels of deep green vegetable nutrition when they analyzed the dehydrated form of wheatgrass grown, which was grown in these extremely fertile glacial soils of northeastern Kansas. The researchers also discovered a special period of ultra high nutrition that only occurs for a few days each year in the spring after about 200 days of growth through the cold months of winter.. Pines International is the oldest wheatgrass company in the world. It was founded 35 years ago in 1976. Pines is the only company that grows wheatgrass in this historic location.

This is the final chapter of the How to Grow Wheatgrass series. It shows the remarkable difference between growing wheatgrass as nature intended with the unnatural way it is often grown. The foundational scientific research on wheatgrass was with plants that were grown outdoors in cool weather in the world-famous soils of Northeastern, Kansas. True wheatgrass grown under natural conditions is much richer in enzymes and green food nutrients than wheatgrass grown in trays. It is also much darker green, with thick, fleshy leaves rather than the spindly, relatively pale leaves of tray grown wheatgrass. Wheatgrass is a cold weather crop. The seeds are planted about 3 inches apart in rows 7 inches apart. This gives the plant the space nature intended so it can develop properly. True wheatgrass has a good flavor because it is grown in natural conditions. The true wheatgrass products sold by Pines International are grown outdoors in cold or cool temperatures. These are the same conditions that were used for growing the wheatgrass used in research that is the scientific basis for all the literature on wheatgrass.

I grow wheatgrass indoors (Arizona, 110+ degrees outdoors in the summer) and have been plagued with a large quantity of fruit flies. They get in the soil and multiply like crazy. Two can turn into hundreds in a day or so. Tried assorted things from nurseries (sticky papers, neem oil, etc.) and nothing seems to get rid of them. I juice and drink the wheatgrass juice so I can’t use chemicals. It’s grown indoors so fruit fly eating insects is out, too. Anyone have any suggestions?

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Stewed Tomatoes. This is the time of year that we have an abundance of tomatoes and green peppers. This is a recipe that I created about 35 years ago to use our over-supply of vegetables, and it has turned out to be a very nice side dish or an addition to soups and stews. It is very light and also tasty, and you can control the ingredients to keep it natural and healthy. It is also great for dieters. Ingredients: 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil ½ cup green bell pepper, chopped ½ cup onion, chopped ½ cup celery, chopped 1 tablespoon cornstarch 4 cups tomatoes (any variety), peeled and coarsely chopped (I do not remove the seeds, but you may choose to do that. If you need a quick and easy way to peel tomatoes, please check my Quick Tip 75 on peeling tomatoes.) ½ teaspoon sugar ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper Drain 4 cups chopped tomatoes, pressing to get as much juice from them as possible, and place the juice in a measuring cup or small bowl. Set tomatoes and juice aside. In a large, deep skillet, place 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil. Add ½ cup chopped green pepper, ½ cup chopped onion, and ½ cup chopped celery. Saute vegetables in olive oil until crisp-tender, but not browned. Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to reserved tomato juice. Mix thoroughly. Add tomato-cornstarch mixture to sautéed vegetable mixture. Stir quickly and completely to combine. Stir in ½ teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground
