Pesach: What do we do with sheaves of wheat during Pesach

Question

We went for a nature hike and the kids gathered sheaves of wheat. Is it permissible to keep these sheaves for decoration, even during Pesach, or is it considered chametz gamur? What should we do with all the sheaves?

Answer

Rabbis of Torah VeHa'artez Institute

These sheaves are not chametz and it's permissible to save them. However, it's important to make sure that they don't come in contact with water.
