Thanks for this. Gluten really wrecks my thyroid & I instantly feel horrible when ingested. So I got to be really careful. Will write to them to double check.

I recommend Pines, as they explicitly say that are gluten free, and you can see their explanation on their FAQ here: http://wheatgrass.com/t-faq.aspx Here is the text about gluten: "I am allergic to wheat/gluten. Is it safe to eat PINES Wheat Grass? We recommend you check with your doctor or allergist to be certain, but it is likely to be perfectly safe. As you probably know, wheat allergies are usually a reaction to the gluten found in the wheat berry. PINES Wheat Grass is a vegetable, harvested before the wheat plant forms the grain (berry), and it is after during the transition from vegetable to grain that gluten begins to form. We have done multiple tests on our whole leaf products and never had a detectable amount of gluten in our whole leaf wheat grass or barley grass. Pines is very careful to harvest our wheatgrass at the jointing stage and to harvest above the joint so that no gluten is in the product. Further, we test each batch to make sure that the product can be considered gluten free. Other companies harvest their products after the jointing stage which allows gluten to be in the finished product. With Pines Wheat Grass, you can be assured our wheatgrass is being harvested at the correct time and that it has been tested to make sure we can say it is gluten free." Hope that helps.
