In its natural state it also contains important enzymes such as the antioxidant ’superoxide dismutase‘. With this pure food, nature has given us the perfect combination of nutrients. Since I was introduced to green barley I have experienced a whole new level of energy! , (Anm.: Barley is wellknown in Ayurveda aswell…)
