Barley Green

Green barley is one of the most highly researched green foods and may be the ideal "fast food." This is because the juice of the young barley plants contain so many nutrients including enzymes, chlorophyll, and minerals such as: sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorus, manganese, and zinc. Green barley is a powerful antioxidant containing carotenoids, vitamins C and E, and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Green barley is reported to treat a variety of conditions, including: arthritis, asthma, skin problems, obesity, anemia, constipation, liver problems, impotence, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and kidney problems.
