Botanical Name: Agropyron Elongatum Origin: USA English Name: Wheatgrass C/S French Name: Herbe de Blé Coupée Hindi Name: Gehu Ka Ghans Patta Kaat Also Known As: Tall Wheatgrass, Agropyron Grass Part Used: Young shoots (leaves) of Agropyron elongatum Description: Wheatgrass C/S is prepared from the young, tender shoots of Agropyron elongatum, a fast-growing perennial grass native to temperate regions and widely cultivated for its dense, green foliage. The plant typically grows 30–50 centimetres tall, producing bright green, narrow leaves in tightly clustered shoots. Harvesting is carried out when the leaves reach optimal height and freshness, ensuring uniform colour, texture, and botanical quality for processing. After harvesting, the shoots are thoroughly cleaned to remove soil, dust, and other debris. Drying is performed using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the vivid green colour and natural leaf structure. Once dried, the material is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing lightweight, free-flowing pieces with visible leaf sections and minimal fibrous stems. This process maintains the botanical integrity of Agropyron elongatum while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending, infusion, and further processing. The finished Wheatgrass C/S displays a bright green colour with thin, crisp leaf fragments and a slightly fibrous texture. The pieces remain stable during storage, retaining their visual identity and natural aroma over time. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending for various applications. Uses: Wheatgrass C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and beverage preparations where dried leafy fragments are preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, and educational collections demonstrating cereal grass growth and leaf morphology. The cut and sifted format allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually identifiable leaf fragments. Storage: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dark place.
