Organic Barley Grass Powder

Our well-known grains such as wheat or rye belong to the sweet grass family. Barley, which is mainly used for brewing beer, also belongs to this family. If the barley grain is planted in the ground, a long green stalk grows in less than a week - barley grass. From the point of view of nature, however, this green, delicate stalk is far from being ready. But because of its richness in nutrients, it is already worth harvesting the tender shoot, drying it, and grinding it into a fine powder. Barley grass is particularly rich in nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and secondary plant compounds such as chlorophyll. Particularly noteworthy is the large amount of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin B2, and folic acid that barley grass contains.

The organic barley grass powder can enrich your daily diet in many ways. It is very well suited for green smoothies. Place about two tablespoons of Barley Grass Powder in a blender with other ingredients (water, vegetables, salad, fruit) and puree thoroughly. Barley grass powder can also be sprinkled over various dishes, mixed into muesli, or used to enrich bread dough, crackers, or the like.

Barley grass is not only valuable because of its fantastic nutrient content. It is also alkaline and is therefore ideally suited for alkaline or alkaline surplus nutrition.

As already described, barley grass is particularly rich in minerals. The individual substances are worth describing in more detail below: Iron is essential for the transport of oxygen in the blood and therefore essential for the life of all body cells. Because every single cell in our body needs oxygen. Iron helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue and supports the normal functioning of the immune system. In children, iron supports cognitive development. Magnesium is an essential mineral for our bones. Magnesium as well as calcium and zinc help maintain normal bones. Magnesium also ensures the correct electrolyte balance and has a supporting function in protein synthesis. Valuable nutrients Finally, of course, the zinc must also be mentioned. Zinc is the mineral that is involved in almost all metabolic processes in one way or another and is therefore incredibly important. Zinc contributes, for example, to normal fertility and supports normal cognitive function. The mineral also helps to protect our cells from oxidative stress.
