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.
