The Triticum aestivum plant is used to make the meal known as wheatgrass. It is recognized as a super nutritious food with incredible advantages. It is typically drunk as a fresh juice, but it also comes in powdered form, according to Emily Cronkleton of Healthline. It is a dense, dry grass with a bright green appearance that resembles hay or straw. Farmers mostly grow wheatgrass for animals to consume, but in recent years, it has gained popularity as a supplement and a superfood, according to Zawn Villines of Medical News Today.

The Local Nutrition Focal Points' (LNFPs') performance in improving nutrition security in relation to nutritional outcomes is monitored and evaluated by the Monitoring and Evaluation of Local Level Plan Implementation (MELLPI) Pro. The MELLPI Pro's findings are intended to help policy and decision makers improve nutrition products, services, and delivery systems for greater efficacy, efficiency, and sustainability.
The MELLPI has long been the local government units' primary monitoring and evaluation instrument at the local, regional, and national levels. It gauges the effectiveness of programs in terms of their reach, their use of funds, their expenditure, and their issuance of the policy. For a three-year period, it tracks changes in the nutritional status of preschool and schoolchildren. Additionally, it assesses how well the Barangay Nutrition Scholar manages the nutrition program and keeps track of and refers to undernourished kids at the barangay level.
