Barley grass juice powder (certified organic) 400 mg.
Kamut® grass juice powder (certified organic) 400 mg.
Oat grass juice powder (certified organic)
400 mg.
Wheat grass juice powder (certified organic) 400 mg.

Someone asked me if the items made from the grass, not the grain would be OK. From what I've gathered thus far, the answer is NO....Right????

They are out. As the grain grows into a grass blade, the protein in the grain is consumed and metabolized to support grass growth, but there's always the question of "has ALL of it been consumed" and then "were there *no* grains in the grass harvest". The contamination risk is VERY high.

One of the things, looking back over the years, that made gluten-intolerance make sense for me was me almost passing out a few years ago from wheat grass (one time the fresh juice, and a couple of times the powder). I had never heard of anyone reacting to wheat or wheatgrass like that, since it was supposed to be so healthy. I thought I was just weird. Now, I know better.
