YOUNG BARLEY JUICE POWDER

Due to its high content of vital enzymes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and many other highly beneficial substances, young barley juice powder is an exceptional superfood. Thanks to a patented production process involving juicing, it is fully soluble in water. Both organic and raw quality are guaranteed.

YOUNG BARLEY POWDER vs. YOUNG BARLEY JUICE POWDER (JUICE)

Both forms of barley contain the same spectrum of beneficial substances, but in different concentrations. Due to its high fibre content, barley powder, compared to young barley juice powder, is a less concentrated source of these substances. The fibre not only „dilutes“ the powder but also contributes to its poorer solubility and lighter colour.

The difference between the two forms arises from different processing of the shoots. The juice variant captures only the most valuable liquid part of the plant – i.e., the fraction with the highest content of active enzymes, chlorophyll, vitamins, and other heat-sensitive phytonutrients. As a result, the resulting powder is significantly more concentrated and naturally has a finer character and better solubility. The „whole plant young barley powder“ variant on the other hand, also retains the natural fibre and complete plant structure of the shoot, which will be appreciated by those who prefer a fuller, „whole“ plant form.

HISTORY

The Secret Weapon of Gladiators

Green barley is one of the oldest cultivated plants. Preserved writings show that although it originated in Asia, it also became very popular in the territory of present-day Europe. In ancient Rome, it was even one of the most important supplements given to gladiators to improve their performance. [1,2]

CULTIVATION AND PRODUCTION

After just twenty days

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) – a very fast-growing plant whose shoots are harvested just twenty days after planting the seeds. This is when they have absorbed the maximum amount of nutrients needed for the growth and life of the entire plant.

Dark Green Juice

In the first phase of production, freshly harvested barley shoots are blended with a measured amount of water. Soluble substances pass into the aqueous phase. Conversely, fibre and other insoluble components are gradually removed from the medium. The dark green juice thus created is then dried into the final powder form.

The temperature of the entire production process is regulated so that it does not exceed 41 °C. The content of active enzymes and other nutrients is thus maximally protected.

COMPOSITION

Nutrient-rich powder

Thanks to the early harvest time and gentle processing method, young barley juice powder is a rich source of vital enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and other highly beneficial substances in their pure natural form. [1,2]

Moreover, it is naturally gluten-free – making it suitable for people with gluten intolerance and coeliac disease.

Health claims from the so-called ON HOLD list

Green barley:

• Antioxidant
• General tonic of vitamins and mineral supplements from a natural source

ON HOLD list – This is a list of substances and their health claims that have been submitted to EFSA for assessment, but EFSA has not yet issued a scientific opinion or the EC has not yet made a decision. Please note that these claims are temporary.

USAGE

In water, plant-based milk, and other cold beverages

Our young barley juice powder has a deep green colour and a characteristic, herbaceous taste. You can dissolve it in water, plant-based milk, or another favourite beverage. To preserve active enzymes, do not mix it with hot drinks.

To maintain maximum nutritional value, we recommend mixing the powder with a wooden or porcelain spoon, not a metal spoon, as this can cause oxidation.

RECOMMENDED DOSAGE

Mix 2 level teaspoons (5g) of powder daily in a glass of water or another cold beverage. The recommended daily dose of young barley juice powder is 5g.

For better utilisation of the contained substances, consume barley on an empty stomach – half an hour before or two hours after a meal.

RECOMMENDED STORAGE

A natural property of young barley powder is that it very easily absorbs moisture. Therefore, keep it in its original packaging throughout storage, and always close it thoroughly after removing the powder. A moisture absorber is also included in the packaging.
