Where is Natures Greenz's Organic Wheat and Barley Grass grown??
It
is grown at the base of Southern Alps on the fertile, unpolluted,
GMO free, nuclear free Canterbury Plains in the South Island New
Zealand, one of the world's most pristine environments.
What is organic wheat grass & barley
grass?
Wheat grass & barley grass are dark green leafy vegetable
that are more nutritious per gram than spinach/broccoli when grown
under optimum conditions. NATURE'S GREENZ™ organic wheat grass
barley grass is grown under optimum conditions, carefully harvested,
dried, and bottled for your convenience.
What
is the serving size of NATURE'S
GREENZ™ Wheat Grass/Barley Grass?
2 teaspoons (4 grams) is the official serving size, though people
vary that according to their own preferences. We generally recommend
2-5 teaspoons per day, again depending on how many greens you
eat every day and your general health.
How
many servings should I take per day?
The answer is: it depends. If you eat a lot of greens and are
in good health, one serving a day is probably enough. If not,
2 to 5 servings per day would be good. Ideally, you would take
your NATURE'S GREENZ™ wheat grass barley grass an hour or so before
a meal with a good amount of pure water or juice. This helps your
body take full advantage of the nutrients without competing with
other foods, and may also take the edge off your hunger so you
don't eat as much at meal time. Ultimately, we believe it's most
important that you take it at a time that is convenient so you
make sure you get your Super-greens every day. Either first thing
or mid-morning and then mid-afternoon is a great time for a Super
Green Energy pick-me-up.
How
do you convert your plants in the field into powder and capsules?
1) The Crop is harvested usually 10 to 12 weeks from planting
with a mechanical harvester; it is then transported to the dryers,
where it is washed and dried down to 7% or less (moisture content)
by continual flow drier using heat at approx 55 - 60C.The drying
process takes about 30 minutes.
2) Dried material is milled firstly through a hammer mill with
a 5mm screen and then through a second mill with a 0.6mm screen.
It is sifted to 50 microns. The crop is then further treated using
a unique dry steam process at approx 55C to ensure the bacteria
count including aerobic plate count, meets strict GMP manufacturing
standards.
Are dangerous sprays, colourings etc used or fillers added?
No artificial colours, additives, flavours, fillers, preservatives,
sugar, milk, starch, gluten or yeast derivatives are added. The
crops are grown without the use of chemicals or sprays (please
note: some of our competitors use many fillers to reduce the cost
of the ingredients)
What
nutrients are in NATURE'S
GREENZ™
Wheat Grass & Barley Grass?

Balance Your diet, Reclaim Your Health, Grasses are incredibly
nutrient-dense even more than vegetables. Grasses contain more
chlorophyll per serving than any other food in nature.
Bursting with
over 100 nutritional complexes, including every identifiable mineral
& trace mineral, and every Vitamin in the B-Complex family. It
has one of the highest pro-vitamin A contents of any food; it
is also rich in C, E and K. Wheatgrass is 25% protein; a higher
percentage than in meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products, or beans.
In addition wheat grass has a high amount of the antifungal, antimycotoxic
substance called laetrile. Barley grass boasts four times as much
thiamine (vitamin B1) as whole wheat flour, and thirty times as
much as milk. It has seven times as much vitamin C than oranges.

Robert O.
Young , PhD, says in his book The PH MIRACLE Balance Your Diet,
Reclaim Your Health, that all "greens" supplements are not created
equal. "Basically, you want to look for a wide variety of grasses,
such as wheat grass, barley grass, kamut grass or lemon grass
etc , while avoiding all algae's, mushrooms and fungi.
Robert O Young
also says that grasses are incredibly nutrient-dense even more
than vegetables . ( After all, how do you think a cow gets by?)
Wheat grass and barley grass are particularly good sources of
chlorophyll, it is the chlorophyll that gives grasses the power
to regenerate our bodies at the molecular and cellular level.
What
will NATURES GREENZ™ Wheat Grass and Barley grass powder do for
me?
Let's re-phrase the question: What would eating enough green vegetables
every day do for you?
Hundreds of
private and government studies suggest that increased consumption
of vegetables may reduce incidence of cancer and heart disease,
and lead to fewer health problems across the board. No one doubts
this. But since over 90% of us fail to get 3-5 servings of veggies
every day, we clearly need an easier way.
NATURES GREENZ™
Wheat Grass & Barley grass fills this need. NATURES GREENZ™ Wheat
Grass & Barley grass is nutritionally equivalent to a spinach
salad, but much more concentrated. How much more? Just 1 teaspoon
of NATURES GREENZ™ Wheat & Barley Grass weighing a mere 2 grams
is equivalent to a spinach salad weighing a full 30 grams.
Available
in powders and convenient Vegetarian Capsules (Suitable for Vegans)
NATURES GREENZ™ Wheat & Barley grass takes as little as a minute
a day to give you your daily veggies.
How
much NATURES
GREENZ™ Wheat
& Barley Grass equals a 1 ounce shot of fresh wheatgrass juice?
The nutritional profiles of NATURES GREENZ™ low temperature
dried whole leaf powder and fresh juice are quite different, so
any comparison is a rough estimate. Given that, roughly 1/2 teaspoon
or 3-5 capsules will offer similar nutrition to fresh juice. However,
there's much more to the story. Differences in soil conditions,
growing time and environment lead to significant differences in
nutritional content. NATURES GREENZ™ Wheat & Barley Grass is much
more nutritionally concentrated and complete than fresh wheatgrass
juice.
NATURES GREENZ™
Wheat & Barley Grass is naturally concentrated to form Mother
Nature's Natural Super-Multi-Nutrient Wholefood , It is balanced
to provide a wide array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and
other co-factors. Fresh wheat grass juice, while highly regarded
by many for its potential therapeutic value, simply isn't given
the time to develop fully, and can't compare with wheat & barley
grass grown the way nature intended.
What
is the difference between wheat grass and barley grass?
Very little. Some people prefer the taste of wheat grass; some
prefer the taste of barley grass, but their nutritional levels
are very similar when they are grown under the same conditions.
I
am allergic to wheat. Can I eat wheat grass & barley grass?
Almost certainly, as Wheatgrass and Barleygrass is Gluten Free.
Wheat allergies are usually a reaction to the gluten found in
the wheat berry. Wheat grass is a vegetable, cut before the wheat
plant forms the grain (berry). NATURES GREENZ™ Wheat & Barley
Grass has no gluten. In fact, since NATURES GREENZ™ Wheat & Barley
Grass offers so many nutrients (and a body needs all the help
it can get to combat allergens) and is grown without herbicides
or pesticides; it would undoubtably be an excellent addition to
the diet of someone with allergies. If you are allergic to certain
foods, It is recommended that you check with your doctor/allergist
or nutritionalist to get the right testing done before adding
anything new to your diet- including NATURES GREENZ™ Wheat & Barley
Grass.
