When to harvest ?

Some say 6 inches, others 6-7 and others say 7-8 inches. Do I cut at 7, or do I cut at 6 because that's when its most nutritious ?

When do harvest your wheatgrass ?

Am I better off cutting it fresh starting at a good 6 inches and letting it grow, cutting what I need each day?

Does cutting wheatgrass and storing it in plastic containers the fridge lose any of its nutritional content ?

They say in order to get maximum nutrients you should harvest within a day or two of reaching maturity. My understanding is this is in about 8-10 days.

It can take a lot longer than that in the winter, so 8-10 days is no guide to go by.

Nice screen name buddy

Thanks. And that's a great tip by the way.
