I have read a lot of how wheatgrass juice lowers blood pressure but nothing on if you already have low/borderline b/p. Would it still be safe for me to drink it?

Some people are allergic to mould and it is also bad news for people who suffer from asthma. It has been reported that intake of mould can result in instant body reactions such as headaches, nausea and even body hives. It is therefore important to at least cut well above any mould that has formed when harvesting your wheatgrass. It is also recommended to empty and sterilise your trays after harvesting to discourage any related mould growth. Mould formation on wheatgrass can be of great significance.

The mould can be identified as white 'fluffy' blobs forming around the base of the wheatgrass stalks when it is alive, and black spots when it is dead. The following are all suggestions for preventing mould formation on your home grown wheatgrass. 1. Do not soak your wheatgrass seeds for longer than 8 hours. 2. After soaking, plant the seeds as soon as you have drained them. 3. Try and keep your growing micro-climate from becoming too hot or too humid, a temperature around 30?C is recommended.

In fact, wheatgrass is a suitable food type for those with a gluten intolerance. Although wheat grain contains gluten, wheatgrass is not a grain, it is a green vegetable and as such contains no gluten. No, wheatgrass does not contain gluten.
