DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BARLEY GRASS JUICE POWDER AND BARLEY GRASS?
Barley grass juice powder is often referred to as a nutritional powerhouse and for a very good reason. But it is not to be confused with barley grass powder. They are not the same.
They are both made from the same type of grass, Hordeum vulgar, however despite their similar origins, they differ in composition, processing, and ultimately, their impact on health.
BARLEY GRASS JUICE POWDER
Barley grass juice powder is one of the best ways to consume Barley grass.
With Barley grass juice powder, the shoots of young barley grass are harvested and immediately cold pressed. During the juicing process, the cellulose fibre that makes up most of the thick cell walls of barley grass is broken down and removed. This in turn releases the beneficial phytonutrients and makes it easier for absorption. Since the strong-wall fibres have been removed from the juice powder, it is also easily digestible. This way the concentration of nutrients is high and the nutrients are easily absorbed. When the cellulose fibre is removed, the powder is a darker colour.
BARLEY GRASS POWDER
On the other hand, Barley powder is not juiced. It is derived directly from the young barley grass. Once harvested, the grass is dehydrated and then ground into a powder, retaining the cellulose fibre.
Cellulose is a type of insoluble fiber that does not dissolve in water. It is the main constituent of plant cells, making up most of the thick cell walls of barley grass. When eaten, cellulose passes through the gastrointestinal tract relatively intact.
Due to the presence of this fibre, barley grass powder isn’t as concentrated in nutrients as Barley grass juice powder. The nutrients in barley grass powder is not as concentrated as they are in barley grass juice powder, as the powder maintains all of the cellulose fibre. The presence of this fibre provides a lighter shade in colour.

Why Barley grass juice powder is the best option?
Nutrient Density: Barley grass juice powder boasts a higher concentration of nutrients per serving compared to whole barley grass powder.
Digestibility: The juicing process breaks down the plant's cell walls, making the nutrients more readily absorbable by the body. This enhanced digestibility can be particularly beneficial for those with digestive issues or difficulty processing fibrous foods.
Easier Assimilation & bioavailability: The juicing process breaks down the cellular structure of barley grass, increasing the bioavailability of its nutrients. This may enhance the body's ability to absorb and utilise these nutrients.
According to the Medical Medium, barley grass juice powder is abundant in Vitamins A, C, and B, as well as the minerals iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
