Starwest Botanicals, Barley Grass, 1 lb Organic Powder

Botanical Name: Hordeum vulgare

Origin: United States

Barley Grass is highly regarded by those who use bulk organic herbs and a supply of dried barley grass is considered one of the staples of a well stocked herbalist's cabinet. A common, but highly beneficial cereal grass, hordeum vulgare is valued by many herbalists to be one of the best quality bulk herbs for many complaints.

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. Dried barley grass powder can be taken in caps or in pill form; herbs such as this are also made into healthful juices. 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."
