Barley grass: A total complete food 

Recognized by science as the MOST NUTRITIOUS among all green food, barley grass contains a variety of essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and enzymes required to have proper functioning organs and immune system. 

Young barley grass, which is closely related to dark green leafy vegetables in terms of nutrient composition, is normally harvested before it matures into grains to fully capture all its vital nutrients and enzymes. 


World-renowned scientist Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara described barley grass as “a complete food and a rapidly assimilated source of energy”, while the US Food and Drugs Administration in a rare move allowed manufacturers of barley-based products to make a claim that their offerings may help reduce the risk of heart disease.


100% organic 

No toxic chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and additives are used during the processing of our barley grass. 

In the case of the barley products from The Barley Company, the barley grass utilized in the products grows in fertile soils with clean water irrigation and is harvested on the farms of Canterbury Plains of New Zealand, one of the world’s least polluted environments. 

The farms are certified organic by BioGro, New Zealand’s leading organic certification agency and which is accredited by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements. The certification guarantees that no unsafe levels of heavy metal, herbicide, and insecticide residues are used during the cultivation process.


High in fiber 

Barley grass is known for its high-fiber content and can be added to rich-in-fiber meals as a supplement. A high-fiber diet helps promote regular bowel movement, reduces constipation and hemorrhoid formation, and softens stools. Studies have shown that increased bowel mobility lowers the chances of gut exposure to carcinogens as well as lessens the absorption of dietary fat and cholesterols, among others.


Plant-based diet 

Besides fiber, barley grass is also rich in protein. Vegetarian, or individuals adopting a plant-based diet, can consume capsules that contain pure barley grass as a food supplement sans additives.


Phytonutrients 

Phytonutrients are plant chemicals used for protection from germs, fungi, bugs, and other threats. Experts have suggested that humans who follow a plant-based diet can get similar significant benefits.


Chlorophyll 

Barley grass is a rich source of chlorophyll, a substance that gives plants their green color. Medical research has taken interest in chlorophyll-2, in particular, for its purifying effect on the body, particularly eliminating bad breath and body odor. Chlorophyll-2, according to Dr. Hagiwara, removes toxins that could result in diseases.


Carotenoids 

Citing the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, Live Science said on its website that carotenoids, or a class of phytonutrients that give fruits and vegetables their bright red, yellow, and orange hues, “have an important antioxidant function of deactivating free radicals”. The same website stated that, as per the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, carotenoids contain strong cancer-fighting properties on top of its anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits. 

Aside from its generous amount of phytochemical chlorophyll, barley grass is also rich in carotenoids.
