Barley Grass Powder

Barley Grass Powder is made by harvesting young barley shoots, drying them at low temperatures, and grinding them into a fine green powder. Has a grassy, slightly bitter taste (similar to wheatgrass).

Nutritional Profile (per 100g, approx.)

• Calories: 250–300 kcal
• Protein: 20–25g (contains essential amino acids)
• Fiber: 30–35g (great for digestion)
• Chlorophyll: High, giving detoxifying and antioxidant properties
• Vitamins: A, C, E, K, and B-complex
• Minerals: Iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc
• Enzymes: Like superoxide dismutase (SOD), an antioxidant enzyme

Many nutrients (like Vitamin C) can degrade if exposed to heat/light, so good-quality barley grass powder is usually freeze-dried.
