What is Green Barley?
Green barley is a highly nutritious plant, which is enriched with a variety of minerals. Chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals are just some of the goodness that these plants possess. They also have beta-carotene, which is a source of Vitamin A and this is the most effective way to obtain it because the conversion rate of beta-carotene to Vitamin A is much higher in green vegetables than in orange vegetables. However, all of this depends on where and how green barley has been cultivated. If the soil were not of a good quality, then there would not be as many nutrients in the plant. There have been many studies that have been conducted on the benefits and advantages of using green barley and other cereal grasses like alfalfa and wheat grass. These studies have revealed that peptic ulcers can be treated effectively with green barley while it also helps to reduce serum cholesterol. Some even say that green barley has cancer preventing and cancer inhibiting properties.
