Our wheatgrass is grown to Certified Organic standards on an Australian farm using sustainable agricultural practices. It is free from pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilisers.
Our wheatgrass is steam sterilised and as it is a winter crop, the fresh leaf is harvested between May and September. The leaf is dried immediately and stored in a coarse form until we have to fine mill it – the fine milling is done all year round.
