Wheat Grass or Wheatgrass means the young, nutrient-dense green vegetable leaves of ‘baby’ wheat plant (Triticum Aestivum) used as a food, drink or health supplements.
Wheatgrass Powder:
When harvested at the jointing stage, Wheatgrass contains more than 110 beneficial phyto-nutrients such as vitamins (A, C, E, K, B complex), minerals, chlorophyll, amino acids and dietary fibre.
Traditionally Wheatgrass is known to be grown in pots or trays at home and consumed as Wheat Grass juice or Wheat Grass shots for detoxification, energy and immune support, acting as a "super food" rich in antioxidants and enzymes.
However in modern lifestyle most people do not have the time, space, resources, suitable climate and know-how of growing Wheatgrass. Plus it is difficult to transport fresh Wheatgrass long distance economically as it has very less shelf life. Hence making the availability of Wheatgrass in Powder, Capsules and Tablets has made its benefits accessible to needy people in far off places.

Hindus offer ‘Durva’ (green grass) to the elephant God Ganesha and grow Wheatgrass to worship for nine days during ‘Navratri’ (Durga Puja) festival every year.Just like many other things of Indian origin, the popularity of Wheatgrass grew worldwide after it was highlighted in western countries especially by Dr. Ann Wigmore of USA who lived between (1909 - 1994).
Popularized in the 1970’s by Dr. Ann Wigmore and other natural food pioneers, tray-grown Wheatgrass juice or Wheat Grass shots has become a familiar product in juice bars, natural food stores and the homes of do-it-yourself juicers worldwide.
Dr. Ann Wigmore has mentioned the Biblical story about Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar who spent seven years, insane, living like a wild animal eating the grass of the fields and got cured.
The common observation that dogs and cats nibble on grass, presumably when ill, strengthens our belief in the healing power of grasses.
