Barley grass is one of the green grasses - the only vegetation on earth that can supply sole nutritional support from birth to old age.
When grasses are harvested at a young age, they have a different chemical makeup from their adult counterpasrt. For example Wheat grass has 32g of protein per 100gm while wheat flour has only 13g per 100g. Young grasses offer us great nuturition.
Barley grass is considered the most nutritional of the green grasses. After studying green plants for decades, Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, the creator of Barleygreen ®, said, "It was clear to me, then, that the leaves of the cereal grasses provide the nearest thing this planent offers to the perfect food. For reasons of palatlbility, higher nutrient content, and favourable harvesting features, green barley stands out as the best amongh these."
Nutrients in barley grass
Amino acids and proteins
Barley grass contains eighteen amino acids, including the eight essential ones - that is, the amino acids that we must get from our diet. The body cannot produce them itself.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are the major constituents of every cell and body fluid (except urine and bile) and are thus necessary for the continual cell building, cell regeneration, and energy production tht we need for life. An added benefit of the green barley leaf protiens is that they are polypeptides; smaller protiens that can be directly absorbed by the blood, where they promote cell metabolism (the chemical changes that we need to live) and neutralize substances that are bad for our health.
Enzymes, vitamins, and minerals
Green barley leaves contain a multitude of the body's spark plugs, enzymes. Enzymes are the catalysts for the body's essential chemical reactions and are responsible for our digestive processes, for providing cellular energy, and for antioxidant effects.
Green barley leaves also contain a wide specturm of vitamins and minerals.
Chlorophyll
Green barley grass also contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has been studied for its potential as a deodorant, in stimulating tissue growth, and in stimulating red blood cells in connection with blood supply.
According to an article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (Jan 4 1995), chlorophyll fed to laboratory animals reduces absorption of three dietary carcinogens. The chlorophyll formed complex compounds witht he carcinogens while they were still in the digestive tract, limiting their bioavailabliltiy.
Green barley grass has a high alkalizing effect, which helps keep the ration between acidity and alkalinity in our body fluids balanced. Our cells cannot adequately function if the pH is not in a narrow range. Most processed foods are acidic, and when we consume too many of them, the acidity-alkalinity balance is upset.
Green barley grass contains buffer minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
