I had been wanting to experiment making tablets which would simplify the matter no end. An idea was "given" to me to try using something as a base to bind which was organic and edible. The idea was to try using flour, so this is what I did.
My first experiments were not very successful but through trial and error eventually found that making them by hand would be the easiest and quicklest. This is how far I have now come.

| Mixing Powder (Parsley and Flour) This batch made 200 tablets |
So, the ingredients consist of:
1 The powder you want to make into tablet form.
2 Flour (I want to experiment with soya flour as well)
3 Water.
Mix equal amounts of powder and flour in a bowl and add enough water to make a heavy dough.
Try not to make your mix too wet because it will be very sticky and difficult to work with.
If you do make it too wet it is easy to add more dry ingredients.
Knead the dough until it is easy to work with.
Break off little pieces and roll between thumb and forefinger to make little balls. Dont make them so big that you are not able to swallow them...............
Put onto trays.

| Ready for De Hydrator |
I put the tablets in my dehydrator until completely dry.
You can also dry them in the sun by putting them on a window sill. I did this in the beginning. This also works fine.
Now, you have your own home made tablets. AAAND, you know exactly what is in them............
I am still not sure on what the shelf life of the tablets is but as soon as I know I will add it here. I have been taking Wheatgass tablets for a week or so now with none going "rotten" yet so it does seem as if the shelf life is not too bad.

| Dried and ready for the bottle........... |
I also wanted to see how long they would take to break down in water so put a Wheatgrass tablet in a glass of water. In a couple of hours it had not disintegrated but as soon as I stirred the water it did. The water went a light yellowish colour. This means they should release slowly into your system. I prefer it this way and will not be taking the powder again.
