Chirley,

On the taste of wheatgrass, I find it tastes like grass. I've heard the fresh juice is much stronger-tasting than the powder or pills. I've been taking the pills, chewing them up a little bit, and washing them down with water or tea.

The taste isn't exactly pleasant, but it's definitely tolerable. The first couple of doses have a significant purgative effect, in my experience, so I recommend starting out slowly and working up to the full dose.

I've just ordered some powder from a different company, with the idea I'll use it in a smoothie.

Take care!

Greg
