The awareness of the healing properties of grasses dates back to 2,800 B.C. in China, with similar early ceremonies worshiping cereal grasses and grains by the Romans and Egyptians. References can also be found in the Dead Sea scrolls. Early research about “immature” pasture grass was done in England in the 1800's. Modern research into the nutritional content of “cereal” grasses—wheat, barley, oats, etc.—began in 1935 and was when chemists at the University of Wisconsin described the growth stimulating factor of grass as “distinct from all the known vitamins.”
