Appears to be high quality, and definitely inexpensive
This is the second manufacturer I have purchased Barley Grass Juice Powder from; TerraSoul (TS from this point forward) was the first. The issue I had with TS was the taste was significantly stronger than what I was used to (prior to that, I started drinking Barley Grass from a Japanese brand Barley Grass Powder), AND it was extremely difficult to get it to mix/dissolve in water.<br />After reading many reviews on ZNaturals (ZN), I decided to give this one a try; especially since it specifically mentions it dissolves "easily in water". Well, once I received it, I immediately put it in the refrigerator, which it recommends (interestingly, no other Barley Grass Juice Powder product that I saw recommends this), and finished the last of my TS.<br />About a week later, I tried the ZN for the first time. First impressions, it mixed better than the TS in water; not perfectly, not 100%, but better than the TS. I still don't understand this as from everything I read, one of the advantages to Juice Powder over just Barley Grass Powder, is the removal of the cellulose, which is not digestible AND is supposedly what makes the Powder clump and NOT mix in water. So, if any Barley Grass product is a Juice Powder, its cellulose has been removed, and it should be completely dis-solvable/mixable in water, right? I even asked ZN before I bought their product about this, and they responded "mix vigorously" in water and it should completely dissolve/mix. While it did not 100% mix, it was definitely better than the TS; there was a little undissolved juice powder floating on top, and the longer I let it sit, more would settle to the top (again, not a huge amount, but not 100% dissolved either).<br />The second thing I want to mention is the taste. As with the TS product, and apparently ANY Barley Grass Juice Powder, the taste is much, much stronger than just Barley Grass Powder (at least the Japanese brand I was drinking). It is much more like wet grass; whereas the Powder was more like a strong green tea flavor. In my opinion, the ZN was very, very slightly sweeter (natural sweet, not a sugar sweet) than the TS. I actually don't mind it, but several others I've given it to could not drink it straight, they had to add something (juice, almond milk, something...) in order to drink it. I drink it straight, just a scoop of the Juice Powder and approximately 8 ozs of water, every morning.<br />The only other thing I will say, since there were several reviews that mentioned this, is that on some mornings, I can detect a very, very light saltiness to it; however, it is EXTREMELY light, and I really have to smack, smack, smack my lips/mouth and really try to search for it. I did not find it "overwhelmingly salty" or that it had a "strong salt flavor" to it. I DO NOT add salt to any food (on a very low sodium diet), I don't cook with salt, and I very rarely eat extremely salty foods (guilty pleasure 1 or 2 times per year). My point is, that I am usually very sensitive to salt, to the point where I have even stopped ordering steaks at many restaurants, and have pretty much stopped eating out at all,  because everything seems overly salty to me now. So for what its worth, I did not find the ZN product to be salty...at all.<br />Bottom line, if you can stand a very strong "grassy" flavor, and you mix it very, very vigorously (or in a blender or something like that), then this seems to be a good product at one of the lowest price/oz that I found. I will probably buy again.
