Wheatgrass is the freshly sprouted shoots of grains of wheat. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is used interchangeably with barley grass. Wheat grass is grown by soaking the seeds in clean water for 6-12 hours until they sprout and grow shoots approximately 2 inches (5 cm) long. Wheat grass has a superior content of antioxidants and organic phosphates. Wheatgrass is also called common wheat and is a member of the Poaceae family.
