Green Nutritionals 100% Australian Barley Grass Powder 200g, Energising & Alkalising

What are its health benefits?

The rich green goodness of young barleygrass leaf has long been recognised for its unique nutritional benefits. Research over the past 55 years has confirmed the value of cereal leaf as a complete food, available in a natural synergistic form that makes it an ideal dietary supplement for health and energy.

The 100% Australian Organic BARLEYGRASS is made entirely from leaf harvested when the barley plant is still at its grass-like growth stage, prior to stem elongation and subsequent seed head formation. At this stage the plants nutritional value reaches a peak for important dietary components such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, chlorophyll and carotenes.

A strict harvesting schedule, fast, hygienic handling of the crop, a specially developed low temperature drying process and innovative milling technology ensures that the Australian Organic BARLEYGRASS retains the goodness and quality of the young fresh leaf.

Australian Organic BARLEYGRASS contains whole, young barleygrass leaf. It is NOT juiced and it has NO additives. Juicing eliminates the natural plant fibre and requires chemical additives to prevent deterioration and facilitate the drying process.

Australian Organic BARLEYGRASS has a unique smooth flavour. Rich in chlorophyll known for its ability to aid digestion and has a deodorising effect on the body.

A good source of vitamin E, an anti-oxidant to provide protection for cells against free radical damage, it is particularly important in protecting fats, cell membranes, DNA and enzymes against damage endured by today’s hectic lifestyles. Containing over 90 minerals vital for life, it is high in calcium for healthy bones and teeth, and rich in magnesium, potassium, manganese and phosphorus for a healthy heart, muscles, nervous system and blood vessels. Iron is also essential to combat fatigue and infection. Barleygrass leaf powder has a greater percentage of protein than eggs.

How and where is it grown

Interesting Facts

What is the difference between 100% Australian Organic Barleygrass and imported Barleygrass Juice Powders?

These Barleygrass Juice Powder products can contain up to 25% maltodextrin. This is a combination of maltose and dextrin, both simple sugars.

The Australian and New Zealand food authority classifies maltodextrin as sugar.

The imported Barleygrass Juice Powder products contain approximately identical amounts of crude fibre as the 100% Australian Organic Barleygrass. However, the fibre in the Juice Powder products has been found to be from the cooked brown rice which has been added and does not contain all the nutrients that the whole, young leaf grasses contain in the comparable volume of fibre found within the young leaf shoots.
