BEWIT Young barley powder, 250 G

History

Green barley is considered one of the oldest green crops. Its effects were discovered 7,000 years ago in the region of ancient China. Based on its beneficial effects, the use of this plant was spread throughout Asia and subsequently to the Middle East. In the following years, awareness of barley spread to Europe and other parts of the world. It was also very popular in ancient Rome, where it was one of the special foods given to gladiators to improve their performance.

Origin and cultivation

This green plant is native to India, where it has been cultivated since time immemorial. It is a very fast growing plant. Ten days after the seeds are planted, young green shoots grow from the sprouts. The shoots are harvested on the 20th day after germination, early in the life of the plant. Plants harvested at this stage of growth represent an important source of nutrients and biologically active substances.

** Production procedure**

Unlike dried extracts, which are made from dried extracted juice, the extraction process is completely omitted in the production of our product. Our product is therefore produced in a different way, which includes the following processes. The harvested shoots of young barley are gently dried and then ground into the resulting powder. It is gently processed to retain as many of its unique properties and maximum nutritional value as possible.

Composition and properties

Based on the time of harvest and the subsequent gentle processing of the shoots, it is a nutritionally important product. Young barley powder is a rich source of minerals, vitamins, amino acids and other phytonutrients in its purely natural form. However, some of the substances contained are sensitive to higher temperatures and barley should therefore be consumed cold. Do not mix with hot drinks, the active enzymes could be damaged.

Since the shoots of young barley are also a natural source of water-insoluble substances, the powder is only partially soluble in water. Insoluble particles can form a sediment at the bottom of the glass, which is quite natural for young barley powder. In case of sediment formation, it is recommended to stir the contents of the glass again and drink the entire contents of the glass. Young barley powder is an ideal ingredient for morning smoothies, cold porridges or yoghurt, where, thanks to the additional components, the small particles of this powder are better dispersed.
