I've had a long standing question about whether Wheat Grass Juice contains
gluten.  Is this reply from Perrigo the answer?  Wheat Grass Juice is a
powerful detoxifier and is from the blades of wheat grass probably not
more than a week old.  Long before any seeds (endosperm) are produced.

I intend to try some next week.  Just waiting for my health food store to
get some in.  I'll let you know.
