Wheatgrass

Also known as: Wheat grass

Low concern

Wheatgrass is a conventional food and a source of chlorophyll and some micronutrients. Properly harvested grass contains negligible gluten, but cross-contamination with seed kernels means most commercial wheatgrass is not safe for people with celiac disease unless explicitly certified gluten-free.

What it is

Young leafy shoots of the common wheat plant (Triticum aestivum), used fresh, juiced, or dried as a powder.

Used as a green superfood ingredient in juices, smoothies, and supplements for color and nutrient claims.
