Organic Wheatgrass and Barley Grass:The Next Big Superfoods for Health-Focused Brands
Organic wheatgrass and barley grass are quickly emerging as the next big superfoods in the health and wellness industry. After the global success of moringa and tulsi, these green ingredients are now gaining traction: organic wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum) and organic barley grass (Hordeum vulgare).
For procurement professionals and sourcing managers in the nutraceutical, functional food, and beverage industries, these ingredients are more than a trend. They are an opportunity to strengthen product portfolios with clean, certified, and high-quality superfood ingredients that align with consumer demand.
From Seed to Superfood: Our Commitment to Organic Purity
Our organic wheatgrass and barley grass are cultivated in India, adhering strictly to global organic standards. Every step, from cultivation to packaging, is carefully controlled to ensure quality and compliance.
- Cultivation: Both wheatgrass and barley grass are Rabi season cereals, sown in cool temperatures between 15 and 25°C.
- Sowing Periods: Wheatgrass is sown from November to January, while barley grass is sown from October to December.
- Soil Requirements: Both crops thrive in well-drained loamy soil and are harvested at the young leaf stage for maximum nutritional value.
This controlled approach guarantees that every batch is consistent, traceable, and suitable for brands looking for reliable sourcing partners.
