Considered to be the first cereal grain cultivated by humans, the use of barley dates back to 7000BC. Our Barleygrass is organically grown on fertile plains by German farmers. Barleygrass is harvested while it is still young, at its nutritional peak. It is then processed in one of the largest, highly innovative, and efficient dehydrator plants in Europe. The final processing step involves milling barleygrass into fine powder form. It take 5kg of fresh leaves to make 1kg powder. There is no trace of gluten from the original grain in the sprout, so barleygrass powder is not usually a problem for those who are intolerant to grains.
Barleygrass has a pleasant almost sweet taste which is not overpowering, and complements vegetable dishes well.

Barleygrass has a pleasant, slightly sweet, almost apple-like flavour. It is very refreshing and goes well with lemons. Put a spoon in a glass of lemon water and drink it down for a cleansing drink, or stir a spoonful into your hummus or vegetable pate.
