General Info:
Barley is an annual grass with many different stages of growth. In the first stages, the Barley resembles thick, lush grass, and is colored a rich, bright green. This is when the young Barley leaf blades have reached their nutritional peak and are often cut, then juiced or powdered for supplements. The grass then enters the “reproductive cycle,” which is when it begins to form the grain.

Containing over a dozen amino acids, including 9 essential amino acids, Barley is also a good source of folic acid, niacin, copper, selenium, and manganese, as well containing phosphorous, calcium, vitamin C, pantothenic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6, iron, potassium, and zinc. Beta carotene and vitamin E are present in this nourishing grass as well as the antioxidant saponarin. Bursting with all of these vital nutrients, Barley may help maintain healthy blood counts as well as normal blood sugar levels. As can be seen from its bright coloring, Barley is full of chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green color. Research shows that diets high in chlorophyll-rich foods like Barley may promote overall health. Numerous studies have also shown that Barley may be helpful in maintaining normal cholesterol levels. Barley also contains plenty of dietary fiber, which may promote healthy bowel function.
