    I've never tried it, but it looks like all you have to do is plant and grow your own young wheat stalks. You can probably just buy wheat berries in bulk from a whole foods store and plant them in some trays of soil, following the instructions in the link you sent.

    I don't have a green thumb, though, so if I planted wheat I'd probably get mushrooms or ants. I'm not sure if the grass sold in pet stores is meant for human consumption (thinking in terms of bacteria and so on, rather than the kind of plant it is). But, as I write this, I realize that I'm pretty clueless about the topic. I've never tasted wheatgrass juice!

    They sell it at Whole Foods in the frozen section in little shot size blister packs.The cat grass is just a variety of grass,where as wheat grass is a select one variety kind.It has a higher water content and is plumper where as the cat grass is more fibrous.Its kind of like comparing cattle corn to sweet corn.Trust me its cheaper to buy the whole foods type than mess around with juicers and seeds.It works out to about 52 cents a shot buying it flash frozen.I always have them and they are great.

    You can just sprout whole wheat the same way you would sprout alfalfa or bean sprouts. Nothing special, just regular wheat. It is easy to find in the bulk section at some place like Save on Foods or a health food store.

    So which shops specifically do you buy your wheatgrass seeds from? I asked at Save-On and they don't carry it.
