Barley grass is a nutritious food that is best known for its alkalising and antioxidant nutritional properties. It is made from young nutrient dense shoots of barley, which are harvested above the ground ensuring that none of the grain is present. Since the allergenic protein gluten is only present in the barley grain, barley grass is gluten free.
As well as the antioxidants that barley grass contains it is also a rich source of chlorophyll and a wide range of vitamins, mineral and amino acids.
NUTRITIONAL PROPERTIES
Barley grass contains every vitamin except vitamin D, most minerals (especially calcium) and all essential and non-essential amino acids all available in their natural easily absorbable forms.
Nineteen amino acids are found in barley grass including all eight of the essential amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are essential for continual cell building, and regeneration, as well as energy production, immune function and detoxification. Barley grass is actually about 26% protein, which is approximately the same amount of protein found in the same quantity of lean beef.
Barley grass also contains a number of living enzymes and flavonoids that function as potent free radical scavengers. These compounds make barley grass a great nutritional supplement that provides antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. In fact, some studies show that barley grass extract may be very beneficial nutritionally, for many health problems including gastric ulcers, high cholesterol levels and even some cancers. These properties are covered in more detail below.
ALKALISING PROPERTIES
Barley grass is naturally alkaline and helps to neutralise excess acidity in the body. It is also a rich source of chlorophyll, the green pigment that is necessary for making sugars by plants via photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is one of the most potent alkalising plant nutrients needed to maintain an alkaline body. Green barley also contains an array of alkalising minerals, such as potassium, magnesium and calcium.
