Description

The grain Barley is considered the fourth most important cereal crop around the globe. However, the leaf of this grain is known by many names, such as barley leaves, barley greens, and green blood. It has been studied extensively for its beneficial health effects, as well as the benefits of each type of processing it may undergo. Although fresh barley grass can be tricky to find, other forms are easily available, the two most common being Barley Grass Juice Powder and Barley Grass Powder.They sound similar and both are derived from the same plant, but there is a difference in how each is processed.

While the nutrients remain the same in each type of powder, the dehydrated barley grass powder’s cellulose content remains intact, which is indigestible for humans. As well, it is usually lighter in color.

Barley grass juice powder, on the other hand, has a higher concentration of beneficial nutrients with the indigestible cellulose no longer present, resulting in a much darker color.

What Is Barley Grass Juice Powder？

Barley grass juice powder is a more concentrated form of barley grass. It is made by first juicing the aerial part of the tender stalks of young barley grass. By using young barley grass, also known as peak harvest or first joint stage, more nutrients are available because the barley grass is said to contain the highest concentration of nutrients from the soil.

During the juicing process, all of the indigestible cellulose is broken down and removed. The breakdown of the cellulose also causes beneficial phytonutrients to be released which the human body can then absorb. The absence of the cellulose, the fiber that makes up most of the thick cell walls that is found in all plants, gives barley grass juice powder a much darker color.

Once the barley grass has been juiced and the cellulose has been removed, a pure juice concentrate is left which is then dehydrated into a powder. The dehydration process includes drying out the barley grass juice at very low temperatures which preserves and protects the bioactive enzymes and other nutrients in the powder.

What Is Barley Grass Powder？

Barley Grass Powder is made directly from young barley grass. The entire grass leaf is dried out and milled into a fine powder. Because barley grass powder is not juiced before being dried out, and so the cellulose is also maintained, the nutrients in barley grass powder are not as concentrated. Barley Grass powder is usually lighter in color.

Barley Grass powder is a great addition to smoothies, shakes, salads, and other recipes. It has a mild, grassy flavor and is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It is also rich in chlorophyll, which helps to cleanse the body and promote healthy digestion. Barley Grass powder can be taken daily as a supplement or added to your favorite recipes for a nutritional boost.
