What it is

Wheat grass is the young grass of the wheat plant, Triticum aestivum. It is harvested when it is still green and tender, typically 7-10 days after sprouting. It is often dried and powdered for use in food products.

Why it's used

Wheat grass is typically added to foods for its nutritional content, often marketed as a 'superfood'. It is commonly found in juices, smoothies, energy bars, and powdered drink mixes.

Health notes

Wheat grass is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various food ingredients, but specific evaluations for wheat grass as a standalone ingredient are not widely published. Some studies suggest potential health benefits, but more research is needed to confirm these effects.

Allergen info

Wheat grass is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
