Barley Grass Powder

As a grain, barley is one of the oldest, most important cereal crops in the world. The nutrient-dense young plants have also been dubbed a superfood. Barley grass powder is made from the leaves and stems of young barley plants harvested at their nutritional peak.

Barley grass powder is an excellent source of fiber, both soluble and insoluble, and contains all nine essential amino acids. The young leaves contain a wealth of vitamins (especially vitamins A, C, and E), minerals (including potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron), antioxidants and chlorophyll, which is known for its blood-cleansing properties. The dietary supplement is typically used to support digestion, immune function, and overall health.

Barley grass is particularly popular in juices, smoothies, and protein shakes or added to soups, stews, and baked goods. It is often combined with other ingredients like kale and spirulina in green blends. Barley grass powder has a bright green color, mild earthy aroma, and light, grassy flavor.
