SAFE's Green Barley Powder - Product Information & Data

Product Description

Green Barley powder is naturally grown - free from pesticides and artificial fertilisers. It is a whole leaf powder made from 100% barley leaf and it contains no additives whatsoever and so provides the benefits of pure leaf extract and natural plant fibre.

Green Barley powder is high in chlorophyll, carotene, vitamins, essential minerals, dietary fibre and is a concentrated source of plant protein.

Green Barley powder is dried at low temperature (38 degrees C) for maximum potency. Our final processing method ensures that the powder will disperse in cold liquids as readily as most instantised juice powders. The barley leaf used is harvested at its peak nutritional level and processed within 60 minutes of being cut. It is grown in Australia in areas renowned for their production of high quality barley crops, and isolation from pollutants.
