Fast-growing treat for cats. The grass is also grown for wheatgrass juice that can be made after 10 days of growing. The juice has a slightly sweet taste to it. Some people like to mix it with the slightly bitter tasting Barley Juice to get a combination that is just right for them. Keep it green and mix it with spinach or celery juice. These seeds can also be sprouted for 2 to 3 days and used as a sprouted grain in salads and soups, as well as sprouted breads.
