Not that it doesn't help anyone with health concerns but I just find it too expensive. Most of my buddies are buying seeds for sprouting and investing on a juicer. $10 for the seeds alone, which will last for about 2 weeks, depending on how many shots of grass you take (it does not regenerate.) That's too much for the average Filipino. It reminds me of my chia pet back in grade school, which btw, contains wheat seeds. Damn, I should've known. For those with health problems, go ahead try it, but it takes more than wheat grass to solve the ailment. Sometimes though, if you are into alternative nutrition, you tend to take so many things and the wheat grass, so unfairly takes the credit. If you are Asian like me, I'm more than willing to bet on its poor neighbor, malunggay (moringa) which is almost free and just grows all over the city. There isn't enough studies or evidence of it's benefits about our lowly horseradish (esp. because it is native to Asia) but it still worth the try. Beware though, the fresh leaves tastes yucky, and begins to become slippery when left too long and could cause discomfort. It's not pleasant. I’m really not impressed with wheatgrass.

I've downed 1 oz shots of what grass in the past and I've found the taste to be more sickly sweet- and very reminiscent of how freshly mown lawn grass smells. I found it gross but tolerable. Thanks for the info Marta- I love how TIA covers such a variety of things. So, what’s the suggested does, if 1 oz only = 1 oz of veggies?
