Wheat Grass Powder

(Triticum aestivum)

Triticum aestivum — Common Wheat, Bread Wheat — is the world’s most widely cultivated cereal grain, a member of the family Poaceae (the grass family) native to the Fertile Crescent of the Near East, where it was first domesticated from wild emmer wheat approximately 10,000 years ago and became one of the foundational crops of human civilization. Wheatgrass refers specifically to the young, freshly sprouted leaves of Triticum aestivum, harvested at the jointing stage — typically 7–10 days after germination — before the plant develops its grain head. At this early growth stage, the leaf blade is at its peak concentration of chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins, and amino acids. Wheatgrass was popularized as a nutritional food in the United States in the 1930s by agricultural chemist Charles Schnabel, who documented its dense nutritional profile, and it was later championed by Ann Wigmore, founder of the Hippocrates Health Institute, who made wheatgrass juice a cornerstone of her whole-foods dietary philosophy. Today, wheatgrass powder is one of the most widely consumed green food supplements in the world, valued for its concentrated chlorophyll content and broad spectrum of naturally occurring nutrients. Our Wheat Grass Powder is milled from young Triticum aestivum leaf, harvested at peak nutritional density and gently dried to preserve its naturally occurring constituents.

Triticum aestivum young leaf contains a well-documented nutritional profile including chlorophyll (one of the highest concentrations of any dried green food), vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A (beta-carotene), folate, vitamin B6, riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, pantothenic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, selenium, and copper; along with amino acids (including glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, valine, isoleucine, threonine, alanine, glycine, serine, proline, tyrosine, arginine, histidine, methionine, cysteine, and tryptophan), flavonoids (including apigenin, luteolin, and tricin), phenolic acids (including ferulic acid and caffeic acid), superoxide dismutase (SOD), cytochrome oxidase, transhydrogenase, amylase, lipase, protease, alkaline phosphatase, dietary fiber, and chlorophyll derivatives (including pheophytin and pheophorbide). Available in Powder form.

How to Use

Smoothies & Juices: Add ½–1 teaspoon to green smoothies or fresh-pressed juices — pairs well with apple, pineapple, cucumber, lemon, and ginger. Water: Stir into 8 oz of cold water with a squeeze of lemon for a simple green drink. Shots: Mix ½ teaspoon into 2 oz of cold water or juice for a concentrated green shot. Salad Dressings: Whisk into vinaigrettes or tahini dressings for added color and a mild grassy note. Dips & Spreads: Blend into hummus, guacamole, or yogurt dips for a vibrant green hue. Soups: Stir into finished soups just before serving — excellent in vegetable broths and gazpacho. Pasta & Grains: Incorporate into pasta dough or stir into cooked grains for color and nutrition. Bread & Savory Baking: Add to flatbreads, crackers, or savory muffins.
