Organic Wheat GrassPowder

Claridges Organic specializes in dehydrated Organic Barley and Wheat Leaf powders.

The Canterbury Plains, situated in New Zealand's South Island, is the ideal place for growing grass and cereal crops. The alluvial soils are young and fertile, the irrigation water is fresh and pure, the atmosphere is clean and unpolluted and coupled with the high UV light, barley and wheat leaves grow deep green chlorophyll rich leaves.

Claridges Organic in conjunction with Harts Creek Farm can assure its clients that they will have no problems with heavy metal, herbicide, and insecticide residues. Harts Creek Farm can not be "certified organic" if unsafe residues are found. The farm must undergo residue testing as part of its certification.
