Barley Grass

Why Barley Grass?

Barley grass (also called young barley leaf or barley greens) is harvested from the early-growing leaves of the barley plant, before the grain forms. 

It’s increasingly popular in health-supplements and green-food blends because of its nutrient profile and potential health benefits.

Key Nutrients & Elements

  • Rich in vitamins A, C & E, supporting antioxidant protection. 
  • Good source of minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium. 
  • High in dietary fibre (both soluble & insoluble) to help support digestion and gut health. 
  • Contains chlorophyll, flavonoids, GABA and other functional plant compounds linked to wellness benefits. 


Health & Wellness Benefits

  • Digestive & gut support: Fibre and prebiotic-type components help maintain beneficial gut bacteria and promote regularity. 
  • Antioxidant & detox support: With chlorophyll, polyphenols and flavonoids, barley grass assists the body’s natural defence systems. 
  • Heart & blood sugar support: Some studies suggest barley grass may help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood glucose levels. 
  • Energy & nutrient density: Ideal for those wanting a nutrient-rich “green” boost in their diet, particularly in powder form. 

How to Use

  • Mix barley grass powder into water, juice, smoothies or protein shakes for an easy daily green boost.
  • Best taken with cool or room-temperature liquids, as high heat may reduce nutrient potency. 
  • Can be used as part of a broader greens or superfood blend.
  • Start with a smaller amount if new to it, then adjust as desired.
