Harvesting Instructions
Harvest Graingrass using clean, sharp kitchen scissors 1" above growth medium ('soil') level, removing 6-8" of the grass blades. Continue watering to keep the growth medium surface moist to the touch and harvest a second time about two weeks later, when grass blades have reached a similar length. Nutritional content is greatest when the grass blade produces its first 'notch', from which a secondary leaf will emerge.
