Harvest & Care of Living Wheatgrass: 

• Place your wheatgrass in a warm (65-68 degree F) well ventilated environment. Indirect light is best.
• Your wheatgrass will be delivered in a compostable container that will allow for bottom watering of the rootmat. Avoid wetting the blades of your grass or pouring water over the top of the soil.
• Harvest your wheatgrass, using a sharp knife or scissors once it is 5-8 inches tall. If you cut it too early you won’t allow it to reach its nutritional peak and it tastes extremely sweet. If you cut it too late, the taste is bitter. Trim the blades about 1/2 inch above the soil surface with clean, sharp scissors.
• Harvest what you need for juicing that day OR harvest all of it and save it in the refrigerator.
• Harvested wheatgrass will last 7-8 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container or mason jar.
