What exactly does it mean to grow wheatgrass hydroponically?
Hydroponics refers to growing wheatgrass in water instead of soil. Those who research hydroponically grown plants indicate that plants that were grown in soil used most of their energy to push the roots down through the soil. When wheatgrass is grown in a water environment, all the plant energy can be directed to plant growth. How does wheatgrass grown in water compare nutritionally with soil-grown wheatgrass? Studies have shown that the nutrient value of wheatgrass grown hydroponically is virtually the same as wheatgrass grown in soil. In a study comparing soil grown and water grown wheatgrass, 11 important nutrients were analyzed. The conclusion was that there was no significant difference in nutrient value between wheatgrass grown in soil compared to wheatgrass grown in water.
