How to Cut Wheatgrass
How to Cut Wheatgrass. Wheatgrass is ready to cut anytime after it's grown about 6 inches tall. Don't let it exceed 7 to 8 inches in height, or it will become tough.

Wheatgrass is ready to cut anytime after it's grown about 6 inches tall. Don't let it exceed 7 to 8 inches in height, or it will become tough. Water the plants the day before you plan to harvest so that the shoots will have plenty of time to dry before cutting. Wheatgrass keeps in the refrigerator better when it's completely dry. For best results, cut right before you're ready to juice your crop.
Things You'll Need
Kitchen shears
Large bowl
Sealable plastic food bag
Grasp a bunch of wheatgrass blades in one hand and pull slightly upward to tighten it for cutting.
Use kitchen shears to cut the bunch about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the soil -- the closer the better. The highest nutrition concentration is near the roots.
Drop the cut shoots into a large bowl. Repeat the process for the rest of the crop.
Put the cut wheatgrass into a sealable plastic food bags.
Refrigerate your wheatgrass for up to a week.
