BarleyLife®Barley Grass
Barley grass is one of the green grasses -- the only vegetation on earth that can supply sole nutritional support from birth to old age. Agronomists place this ancient cereal grass as being cultivated as early as 7000BC probably in the dry lands of southwestern Asia. In the West, barley grass was first known for the barley grain it produces; there is written mention of the grain as early as 2800BC in Babylon. Barley is also a Biblical food, mentioned no fewer than 32 times in the Bible. Barley grass vs. barley grainGreen grasses are at their nutritional peak before they enter the reproductive cycle. To create grain, the plant must channel its nutrition up to the seed heads. When grasses are harvested before they enter the reproductive cycle, they have a different chemical make-up from their adult, largely depleted, counterparts. Young Grasses contain about the same vitamins and mineral as dark green vegetables. When these grasses are juiced and concentrated, as in AIM BarleyLife®, they are superior nutritionally. This amazing discovery is supported by data. For example according to the US Department of Agriculture's Nutrient Database, barley contains 22 International Units (IU) of vitamin A per 100g and barley flour contains no vitamin A. AIM BarleyLife®, however, contains 19,700IU of vitamin A per 100g. This is 2½ times the beta carotene found in an equivalent weight of raw carrots and about 25 times that found in an equivalent weight of raw broccoli. Vitamin A is an important antioxidant known to protect cells. It is implicated in cardiovascular health and is believed to have anti-cancer benefits. To use another example, barley contains 33mg of calcium per 100g and barley flour contains 32mg of calcium per 100g. AIM BarleyLife® contains 730mg of calcium per 100g. This is more than 7 times the calcium found in an equivalent weight of raw spinach and 15 times the calcium found in an equivalent weight of raw broccoli. Calcium is essential for bone development.
