BARLEY GRASS


Barley grass is one of the best sources of nutrients for the body’s needs. It assists in growth, tissue repair and well-being. Some experts call it the closest thing on this planet to the perfect food. The use of barley as food and medicine dates back thousands of years. Barley grass is high in chlorophyll, flavonoids, beta carotene, enzymes, all the essential amino acids, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, manganese, zinc, vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, C, E, folic acid, and pantothenic acid.
