Today, we’re going to be answering the question: does wheatgrass have gluten? By the name, you’ll likely be sure that this product is not gluten-free…but that’s not always the case.
Wheatgrass is the young grass of Triticum aestivum, otherwise known as the wheat plant. It’s the very first leaves of the plant, and they will be freshly sprouted.
Wheatgrass is often sold as a supplement, which you can find in the forms of a tablet, capsule, or powder. Wheatgrass is most often found in juice and smoothies, but you can find it in some food products too.
Although wheatgrass is a wheat product and part of the wheat family – wheatgrass is considered gluten-free. Wheat seeds are the part of the plant that contains gluten.
