It&#8217;s a thick, dry grass that looks like hay or straw but is bright green. It contains approximately 70% chlorophyll, which gives it its distinctive green color. Wheatgrass is typically grown indoors in trays, though it can also be grown outdoors. The grass develops slowly for the first 7 days before growing rapidly during the next 12-15 days, reaching optimal nutritional content at 12-15 days after sprouting.<br \/>\n<a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Where\">Where Found<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Wheatgrass is native to Asia and the Mediterranean, but it&#8217;s grown worldwide.
