Default Wheat Grass Powder

Can anyone tell me if wheat grass powder can be used as an additive in
recipes? An example of an additive I use is lecithin. I add lecithin
to recipes when I make bread. Can wheat grass powder be added to bread
recipes, or will the heat of baking kill its benefits? If adding it to
bread recipes is not recommended, does anyone have any suggestions for
other recipes that wheat grass powder can be added to?

lechithin degrades quickly in heat
cooking it is not really an intensify thing. just kills it, so to speak

i give my cats
wheat grass, oats, and bean sprouts to get rid of hair balls.
amking bread hey
try 12 grain or 7 grain types.
even sunflower seeds and raisons make interesting variations.

depending on how desperate you are to use up wheat grass
make wheat germ muffins with mollasses and i THINK lemon
depends on your taste buds. maybe lime.
checwing straw, rarely inspires my cooking ideas.

I would try to get it raw if you can.

Make a raw energy bars with nuts, ground flax seeds, oats and quinoa
flour, apricots, molasses, lime juice and sneak some wheat grass powder
in there.

You can also sneak it into smoothies and milkshakes (even chocolate
one).

I think it would go quite nicely in pea muffins but I'm sure you would
lose some of the alleged nutritional benefits.
