Agronomists place this ancient cereal grass as being cultivated as early as 7000 B.C.E. probably in the dry lands of southwestern Asia. Before green grasses undergo the reproductive cycle that creates the grains, they are in the grass stage, and the grasses contain about the same vitamins and minerals as dark green vegetables. When grasses are harvested at a young age, they have a different chemical makeup from their adult counterparts.
Barley grass is considered the most nutritional of the green grasses.
In the patented process, the juice is squeezed out of the barley grass and then spray dried at low temperatures, ensuring that the plant enzymes remain active and that the nutrients are protected. Other green juice products on the market are not true juices. The leaves are picked, but instead of being juiced, they are ground or milled. This means that they have lost their enzymatic activity and that fiber remains in the product. From a plant, to a grind, to you.
