What is Organic Barley Grass Powder?
Organic Barley Grass Powder is made from freeze-dried young leaves of Hordeum vulgare, grown on certified organic farms. We also supply Organic Barley Grass Juice Powder, a concentrated extract produced by cold-pressing and low-temperature drying. Both deliver high-density nutrition with chlorophyll, antioxidants, and enzymes – ideal for daily greens supplementation.

FAQs
Q: What is the primary difference in nutrient profile and application between Organic Barley Grass Powder and Organic Barley Grass Juice Powder?
A: Organic Barley Grass Powder is the whole, dried, and milled grass, retaining all its fiber and a broad spectrum of nutrients. It’s ideal for applications needing bulk or insoluble fiber. Organic Barley Grass Juice Powder has most of the insoluble fiber removed, resulting in a higher concentration of vitamins, minerals, enzymes (like SOD), and chlorophyll per serving, making it more soluble and potent for liquid formulations.
Q: Are your Organic Barley Grass products suitable for vegan and gluten-free products?
A: Yes, both our Organic Barley Grass Powder and Organic Barley Grass Juice Powder are made from 100% organic barley grass, harvested before the grain forms. This means they are inherently vegan and gluten-free. They contain no animal products or common allergens.
Q: What is the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Both our Organic Barley Grass Powder and Organic Barley Grass Juice Powder typically have a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in their original sealed, airtight packaging. Specific bulk storage recommendations will be provided with your order documentation.
Q: Do these powders require any special handling during formulation?
A: Due to their natural composition and hygroscopic nature, it’s recommended to handle both powders in a low-humidity environment and store them in airtight containers to prevent caking and maintain quality.
Q: Do your Organic Barley Grass products undergo testing for heavy metals and contaminants?
A: Absolutely. We conduct rigorous third-party testing for heavy metals, microbials, pesticides, and other contaminants to ensure our Organic Barley Grass Powder and Organic Barley Grass Juice Powder meet strict international food safety standards and regulations. Certificates of Analysis are available upon request.
