Green Leaf Juice
Green Leaf Juice of Barley, Wheat, & Kamut
Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Japan & California
Unique enzymes help orchestrate repair of cellular blueprint, creating
youthful and more optimal function cell by cell. Cleansing and rebuilding
enzymes, trace minerals, enzymatic pigments, for energy and youth, blood
builders, anticancer, immune boosters. Regarded as a sexual tonic. Considered to
be superfoods for longevity.
Dozens of Antioxidant Enzymes, Cleansing Enzymes, Repairing, Rebuilding &
Healing Enzymes. Carotene & Chlorophyll, Vitamins, Potassium and other
minerals.
Green juice of Alfalfa (leaves)
Remote Southwest USA (Leguminosae, Medicago Sativa)
A favorite of ancient Chinese physicians, Ayurvedic physicians, the Arabs,
the Spanish, American pioneers and health enthusiasts and athletes. The roots of
alfalfa run as deep as 30 feet - deep enough to get at minerals other plants can't
reach. A general tonic especially useful to the cardiovascular system and to
reduce cholesterol. Recent studies focus on alfalfas ability to bind carcinogens
and speed their elimination. Used to reduce bad breath and body odors.

Barley Grass
Barley grass is one of the green grasses - the only vegetation on the earth
that can supply sole nutritional support from birth to old age. The true beauty
of barley is found in the leaves; the young green shoots of power that form before
the grain. The young leaves have a tremendous ability to absorb nutrients from the soil.
When barley leaves are 12-14 inches high, they contain all the vitamins, minerals, and
proteins necessary for the human diet, plus chlorophyll. These necessities are easily
assimilated throughout the digestive tract, giving our bodies instant access to vital
nutrients.
Amino Acids and Proteins
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins;
20 of them are present in the body proteins in significant quality. Proteins are
the major constituent of every cell and body fluid (except urine and bile) and
are necessary for the continual cell building, regeneration, and energy
production that we need for life. The green barley leaf proteins are polypeptides;
smaller proteins that can be directly absorbed by the blood, where they promote cell
metabolism and neutralize toxins. Eighteen amino acids, including the eight essential,
are found in barley grass.
Enzymes, Vitamins, and Minerals
Green barley leaves contain a multitude of enzymes that facilitate the essential
chemical reactions of life that help you move, digest, or breathe.
Astounding amounts of vitamins and minerals are found in green barley leaves. These include
potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, beta carotene, B1, B2,
B6, C, folic acid, and pantothenic acid. Indeed, green barley juice contains 11 times the calcium
found in cows' milk, nearly 5 times the iron in spinach, 7 times the vitamin C in oranges,
and 80 mg of vitamin B12 per hundred grams. Green barley leaves also contain significant amounts
of chlorophyll.
Alkalinity
Green barley leaves are extremely alkalizing, digesting them helps you keep your body's
acid-alkaline balance.
Recently research has unveiled a wealth of other possible benefits of green barley leaves.
Some studies have shown that when green barley juice is added to injured cells, the cells' DNA
repairs itself rapidly. This may contribute to preventing the changes that often lead to cancer,
rapid aging, and cell death.
Enzymes
In drying of the barley leaf juice we are using a very advanced drying process, guaranteeing
that all active nutrients remain active.

Comparing Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, and Other Cereal Grasses
For centuries, civilizations have understood the value of the cereal grasses,
including wheat, barley, and alfalfa. Now, twenty years after we introduced superfoods
to the world, scientists are discovering the benefits of these green superfoods.
You probably are interested in improving your health in the most effective
way. Some of this information will likely surprise you.
All cereal grasses are nutritionally similar.
In his book
Cereal Grass, What's In It For You, Ronald L. Seibold makes the
statement that the nutritional value of cereal grasses is determined more by where it is
grown and its stage of growth than whether it is wheat, barley, or any other species. While
the taste of young cereal plants varies, the nutritional content does not. This statement is
based on thousands of analyses run on all the cereal grasses. Wheat grass and
barley grass grown in the same field and harvested at the same growth stage are
more similar nutritionally than two barley crops grown in different fields.
Grasses grown in a field are not the equivalent of indoor tray-grown plants.
It is currently very popular to purchase trays and sprout cereal grasses from
home. This grass is normally grown in the dark with just water, and is ready to
be cut and juiced within 5-7 days. This plant is a good source of chlorophyll,
and is a good detoxifying agent. However, these plants should not be confused
with more mature plants that have been planted in rich soil. Such plants
develop good root systems, and are much more nutritionally potent.
Dehydrated cereal grasses are convenient, nutritious, and safe.
People that choose not to grow their own cereal grasses can purchase dehydrated
products that are nutritional powerhouses. Studies show that dehydrated cereal
grasses contain more nutritional value than almost any green vegetable. In
fact, the only one that comes close is spinach!
Cereal grasses can easily be grown organically. When we choose a source of dehydrated
cereal grass, we take great care to ensure that the grass was grown organically without
pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.
Processing is the most important factor to consider.
The nutritional content of all cereal grasses is dependent on the soil in which they were
grown roughly the same. The main difference between these grasses will be their taste. We take
great care to mix and blend them to create a pleasantly tasting product, while selecting sources
grown in widely varied soils to give you a broad mineral spectrum.
When you are considering which product to purchase, make sure you consider the process of the
creation of the product. We consider the growing location, use only plants grown organically,
that are harvested at their peak, and that are processed into the powder while preserving most
of the enzymatic activity inherent to the plants.
Wheat is a popular cereal grass largely because it is the most abundant. More acreage of
wheat is planted than any other crop. Its nutritional content will vary greatly based on where
it is grown. The same is true for barley or any other grass. Premium cereal grass producers
pay special attention to the soil conditions, and use organic farming methods.
The actual processing of the grass into the final product also varies widely. Some of the
less expensive and inferior products cut the grass, let it dry, and then chop it up into a fine powder.
A better and more expensive process is to actually juice the grass, and then dry it into powder.
This is important, because juicing removes the fiber, leaving just a potent nutritional substance.
This processing should preserve the nutritional content of the grass. To do this, the grass should
not be heated, and the drying process should capture the live enzymes. This is easier said than done,
but well designed processing can preserve almost all of the nutrition that originally existed in the
grass itself.
Summary
We use only grasses grown in nutritionally rich soil. Our green foods sources are selected with
special attention to every step of their manufacturing process. We provide maximum nutritional benefit
you can get.
