Wheatgrass
Wheatgrass is generally considered safe as a food supplement during breastfeeding, but it's not formally studied. It's gluten-free (the grass, not the grain) and nutritious.
Wheatgrass is harvested before the plant develops grain, so it does not contain gluten. It's rich in chlorophyll, vitamins, and enzymes. No specific safety concerns during breastfeeding have been identified, but formal data is lacking. Fresh wheatgrass juice can harbor pathogens if grown improperly — choose reputable sources.
