This recipe is from CK Hall (@ckscooking). She a consultant for Pampered Chef®, who uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food, health, and great kitchen tools! CK teaches sourcing individual ingredients rather than using complex blends.
This is especially important for #greensuperfood products, which can be blended with darkly colored ingredients to hide poor color and quality. When you select single ingredients rather than blends, you can see, smell, touch and taste each individual ingredient for quality.
All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps containing tight seals that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle. That protects the product from oxidation and loss of nutrients that occurs when sensitive green food products are packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets.
Nearly all our Pines products consist of ingredients that we grow ourselves on our own #familyfarm. All products are certified #organic, #gmofree,#raw, #Kosher and #glutenfree.

A native grass on the edge of the dune vegetation next to the beach but greatly outnumbered by Ammophila arenaria (marram grass). This species is very similar to intermediate wheatgrass (Agropyron intermedium).
Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is mostly confined to roadsides and not often found within the sagebrush steppe in this area no matter the degree and nature of disturbance.
Bluebunch wheatgrass forms the large bunch front and center. With sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) essentially eradicated, cheatgrass codominates with Stipa comata, Stipa hymenoides, and annual non-native Chenopodiaceae. Agropyron spicatum and Chrysothamnus nauseosus nauseosus sometimes codominate.
I got decorative buckets & watering cans from the craft store and filled with soil (really could have used less soil since it puffed up once filled with grass roots).
The seeds/grains are from the food section of our local health store and are called "organic whole grain wheat". Here they are on Amazon: amzn.to/iFa204 (You really don't need those 6 packages! I got 1 package at the store and used 1/3 of it at most to make 20 of these)
I just put down a full layer of seeds ("wheatberries") on top of damp soil with as few gaps as possible, then covered with a thin layer of soil & kept very moist with a water spritzer and kept under plastic wrap until germination.
Introduced, warm-season, perennial, tussock-forming grass to 130 cm tall. Flowerheads are spikes to 30 cm long and which break up at maturity. Flowers in summer. A native of Europe and western Asia, it is found scattered in areas of low to moderate salinity; sometimes sown, but also increasingly naturalised. More common in southern areas. Has low to moderate waterlogging tolerance, but is not tolerant of waterlogging over spring and into summer. Used to rehabilitate saline sites, but is becoming an increasingly widespread weed especially in wetlands and along streams. Very productive when subsoil moisture is available or there is good summer rainfall. Provides high quality feed when vegetative and leafy, but is of poor quality when rank and flowering. Good grazing management is critical to maintain feed quality and palatability; it responds to hard grazing and added nitrogen.
The two pair of glumes at each node each delimit one spikelet. The bases of the glumes remain similar in texture to the distal ends and the entire glume remains straight at maturity.
An unusual bluish colored clump, a more normal green colored stalk is seen in the lower left, Nose Hill Natural Area, An introduced plant from Eurasia that has become an invasive weed, Unfortunately it is still planted by many cities including Calgary. Grass Family, Poaceae, P7051939bib
Intermediate wheatgrass can form diffuse rhizomatous stands or the stems can be bunched with not many rhizomes. This supposedly distinguished Agropyron intermedium from Agropyron elongatum, but the covariation of such growth habit and other diagnostic traits is not evident. The ends of the spectrum of this growth habit are continuous. This site lies along the Highland Glen trail system near East Kagy Blvd, Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana.
The sagebrush steppe is very uncommon and patchy in this area and grass-dominated by Poa secunda, Agropyron trachycaulum, and a hybrid form of Agropyron spicatum.
Intermediate wheatgrass flowers by mid summer and can continue to so into late summer, as revealed by these mid August photos.
The long internodes (typically at or over 2 cm long) are distinctive to Agropyron spicatum and the awnless lemmas to subspecies inermis. The large spikelets suggest a cultivar (Whitmar) that is used in post-fire revegetation projects.
Spikelets are sessile or shortly stalked, many flowered, with at least 2 fertile florets (2–20) and diminished florets at the apex. Awns on the florets are straight when young, but bend at maturity.
Sagebrush steppe not burned during the Long Draw fire included an area on the north slope of Blue Mountain Pass along highway 95, which was dominated by crested wheatgrass and essentially devoid of cheatgrass.

Here is one of our wheatgrass fields today, just before harvest. This stage of growth lasts only a few days, once a year, in the early spring. For more than 80 years, people have used this kind of wheatgrass as a way to increase the green vegetables in their diet. The USDA says we should be eating more vegetables than any other kind of food. #PinesWheatGrass, #MightyGreens and #GreenDuo are convenient and economical ways to do that.
Some people mistakenly believe #wheatgrass is supposed to grow unnaturally in trays for #wheatgrassshots. The wheatgrass used in the research that inspired Ann Wigmore was not that. It also was not juice. It was real whole food wheatgrass powder that was grown slowly over the winter in often-freezing temperatures and then harvested in the early spring.
Real winter wheatgrass is planted in the fall with seeds about one inch apart when the air is chilly and the soil is still warm. That induces the plants to grow as nature intends. After 30 days, only about one inch of leaf is above ground but with roots a foot deep in rich glacial soil.
This field is one used by the scientists. Pines also still uses one of their laboratories. We are the only 100% organic whole food wheatgrass powder producer in Kansas. All others practice dual farming. Pines uses clean, modern, computerized facilities to produce 100% #CertifiedOrganic, #NonGMOProject Verified, #vegan-friendly, #Kosher, #glutenfree human food.
Pines is the original #greensuperfood company. We predate all other natural food companies. We never package in plastic tubs or paper packets. All our products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps. That allows us to remove the oxygen and prevent loss of nutrition that occurs with plastic containers and packets.
Pines is also the only Kansas company established for the purpose of expanding organic agriculture, #sustainable living, #environmental responsibility and #feeding the hungry. Our profits go toward those purposes.

Recently burned or otherwised removed sagebrush steppe is commonly reclaimed in southcentral Oregon with Agropyron cristatum. Bromus tectorum co-dominates both unburned and burned sagebrush steppe even when the latter is reclaimed with Ag. cristatum.
Just N of McDermitt, Agropyron cristatum is common and sometimes excludes cheatgrass. Although abundant throughout this area, Bromus tectorum is rare to absent at certain local sites dominated by Agropyron cristatum, such as along this portion of the Highway 95.
Agropyron cristatum often associates with the main two-track roads within the Idaho National Laboratory but the native plant diversity along such roads is usually as high as it is in the adjacent sagebrush steppe where Agropyron cristatum is in low abundance if not absent. This site lies to the north of the main southern entrance, Idaho National Laboratory, Butte County, Idaho.
FoodBackground.com is dedicated to educating the consumer about food. Where does it come from? Who makes it? Where is it made? How is it made?
They are educating consumers that most of the food at grocery stores is owned by a handful of companies, and some of them even own some organic food brands. As a result, consumers do not have easy access to products from positive companies that contribute to a better planet with honest products.
In posting this picture on @FoodBackground, Carlos said this about #PinesWheatGrass:
"We absolutely loved meeting the amazing people from @wheatgrass_people! What a phenomenal company with a phenomenal product line! Get your #wheatgrass on with the people from Pines!!"
Pines is celebrating 40 years as the company that introduced #organic wheatgrass to the natural food marketplace as a convenient and economical way to increase the dark green leafy #vegetables in your diet to achieve the well-documented health protection that these foods provide.
Pines is the only Kansas wheatgrass producer that is not a pesticide-based agribusiness with an "organic sideline." Our facilities are the only ones that have never been used for pesticide-based animal feed for the meat industry.
Pines is also the only Kansas producer to use natural rainfall rather than further depleting and contaminating the Ogallala Aquifer for irrigation water for the pesticide-based agribusiness that grows wheatgrass in dry parts of the State.
Because of our quality standards and oxygen-free amber glass bottles, Pines is naturally concentrated and costs less per serving than devitalized products in plastic tubs and other inappropriate packaging.

Contrary to what is said in many taxonomic keys, the glumes often bear multiple longitudinally running veins. The long-attenuated, curved, tapering glume tips are the most distinguishing feature of western wheatgrass.
This grass was found only at this site in the Idaho National Laboratory along a two-track road. The clasping auricles of this grass project forward only slightly. The lemmas in this rhizomatous perennial grass population are not as long-hairy as usual for Elymus flavescens and the lemmas are awnless or nearly so to be Elymus innovatus. This site lies in along a two-track road in the Idaho National Laboratory sagebrush steppe north of highway 20 in Bingham County right near the Butte County border, Idaho.

The diaspore of Hordeum brachyantherum has shorter awns than those of Hordeum jubatum (brownish in the background).
The usually 2-3 pairs of glumes per node are distinctive in being narrow and short (i.e., not surpassing the length of the subtending floret cluster).

Much of what passes as Montana steppe (prairie) actually comprises mostly few grass species that withstand long histories of overstocking, such as Agropyron cristatum (crested wheatgrass), Agropyron dasystachyum (thickspike wheatgrass), and Stipa comata (needle and thread grass).
Contrary to what is said in many taxonomic keys, the glumes often bear multiple longitudinally running veins. The long-attenuated, curved, tapering glume tips are the most distinguishing feature of western wheatgrass.
A native rhizomatous wheatgrass, the lemmas are often, but not always, conspicuously hairy in Agropyron dasystachyum, thickspike wheatgrass. This site lies along the ridgeline at the north end of Burke Park, Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana.
Between Havre and Box Elder along hwy 87 looking south at the Bear's Paw Mountains. The vast expanse of crested wheatgrass throughout Montana renders moot the question "how has climate change influenced native vegeation?".
In contrast to Agropyron spicatum, bluebunch wheatgrass, A. spicatum inerme seems to be mostly roadside (intentionally or escaped) perhaps because of its selected restoration qualities. (Maybe a hybrid including Agropyron trachycaulum as one parent because of the broad stem leaf blades?)
Agropyron albicans, Montana wheatgrass, has been long-persistent on the Burke Park ridge in east Bozeman, where its two progenitor species are common, Agropyron spicatum (bluebunch wheatgrass) and Agropyron dasystachyum (thickspike wheatgrass). Agropyron albicans (spikes in foreground) has the persistent florets and glume-length internodes of Agropyron dasystachyum but the long curved lemma awns and relatively glabrous lemmas of Agropyron spicatum (background). Koeleria macrantha (prairie junegrass) is another common bunchgrass in this scene).
The flowering head or spikes are distinctive in bearing widely diverging spikelets separated by short internodes.
Crested wheatgrass (left), smooth brome (center), and needle-and-thread (right) are three of the most common grasses in Montana in rangeland settings. They dominate perhaps the entire landscape in this area along highway 191 between Big Timber and Harlowton. On this particular day, an ATV with a tank of herbicide was driving all over this rangeland. Such an observation is common.
