Wheatgrass is widely promoted as a functional food with a number of health benefits. Considering the rich vitamin and mineral content of wheatgrass, it makes sense that it might be beneficial for gut health and immunity.
Research, however, is much more sparse than folklore. Gut-health benefits are touted without much in the way of direct studies linking the two, while wheatgrass is cropping up in juice bars, supplements, and grow-your-own microgreens kits.
