Barley Grass comes to us in a powdered form and is similar to wheatgrass, but it has a more pleasant, refreshing taste, and is a very palatable way to get your greens. (Great for children - just sneak 1/3 tsp in a tasty drink or a little sprinkle here and there!)
The use of barley, for food and nutritional purposes, dates back to ancient times when Roman gladiators ate barley for strength and stamina.
Barley Grass 250g is also available from Nutri-Health.
Mix a up to teaspoon of Barley Grass into water for an instant alkalising drink and pick me up. This drink is a wonderful tonic, where the benefits are instantly felt.
