I think people hide it in things.  My choice is tomates.  I bought 2 kilos 
yesterday from the Pugiese farmers.

Am now working with a food-crazed Beit from afar and we are leading up to 
doing food tours (me) in Puglia.  He wants to start a British sausage 
kingdom in Italy.

It was a health food a few years ago. I never thought it was for real
food.

I've never wanted to try it but isn't wheat grass something that people 
grow for themselves on windowsills, like herbs? I think I've seen pots 
of sprouted grass  for sale.

   I know two people  who grow their own wheatgrass and combine it in
veg juices. They are both in remission from cancer and following
ultra-healthy diets.

"It's all baloney" LOL!  Yes, I think I'll take baloney with crackers & 
cheese instead of wheatgrass.
