Wheatgrass as a supplemental food/treat for koi?

What about wheatgrass as a supplemental food (young sprouted wheat)? I start a little periodically for the cats by using a small piece of filter pad sitting in a little water (no soil or anything) and it sprouts & grows 4 or 5 inches before the cats mow it down. Is there any reason that this wouldn't be a good treat for the koi ( weight down the piece of filter pad or hang it plant side down in the water)? Thanks for any input. PS wheat for sprouting is inexpensive at the feed or health food store.

Hi
If they will eat it certainly shouldn't do the any harm.
There are soooo many varieties of water plants I've never tried any terrestrials. gary
