Barley grass is perhaps the most cherished of all the 'greens'. Starwest Botanicals makes it easy to add a little extra green nutrition to your day with their Organic Barley Grass Powder (also certified Kosher). Barley grass and similar plants such as wheat grass have the interesting characteristic that although classified as a grain, they are more like vegetables when first sprouting. At this stage of its development, 'Hordeum Vulgare' is an excellent source of chlorophyll. 

Hordeum Vulgare and wheat grass are nearly identical; the one difference is that as dried herbs, the former is more effective as an anti-oxidant, acting as a 'free radical harvester.'  Barley grass may also be effective as an analgesic; such organic herbs as this and wheat grass also seem to have anti-inflammatory properties. 

Sprouted from barley grass seeds and consumed fresh this natural herb contains additional enzymes. These bulk herbs are known to contain many B Vitamins as well as valuable nutrients such as beta carotene, folic acid and calcium. Dried barley grass powder can be taken in capsules or in pill form; herbs such as this are also made into healthful juices. 

• Benefits such as good cholesterol and blood pressure levels, improved immune response are attributed in part to chlorophyll.
• Barley grass is a very nutrient dense food, providing a high concentration of minerals, vitamins and amino acids per serving, much closer nutritionally to dark, green, leafy vegetables than the grains they will become as they grow.
