Description
Wheatgrass and barley grass are both types of grass, but they have different flavors. Wheatgrass is more bitter, while barley grass is more sweet. Wheatgrass is also more concentrated than barley grass. Wheatgrass is also more easily absorbed than barley grass. Wheatgrass is also more affordable than barley grass.
WHEAT GRASS OR BARLEY GRASS: What’s the difference?
It’s like comparing apples with apples. Or maybe a red apple with a green one. As you look from the can of Wheat Grass to the can of Barley, you’re probably asking yourself which is better, or at least which is better for you.
The short answer: it doesn’t matter.
The other short answer: it’s totally up to you.
The slightly longer answer: Our Wheat Grass and Barley Grass Powders are very similar in purity, quality, nutritional status and fibre content. The only real difference is in the taste – some prefer Wheat Grass and others Barley. It’s like some people prefer red apples and others green. They’re both apples. Like our grasses are both The Real Thing.
HOW DOES THE REAL THING KEEP IT REAL?
We keep it real by keeping things simple. That means we leave out more than we put in. Simply put, our grasses are…
100% organically farmed
Pesticide-, chemical- and poison-free
Free of all additives, binding and bulking agents, including maltodextrin, binders, fillers, preservatives, colourants and flavourants.
FACT: The Real Thing Wheat and Barley Grass are 33 times more concentrated than the plants themselves. You’d need 7kg of grass to get the nutrients found in just one can. The choice is yours.
The Real Thing cereal grass supplements are ultra-pure, additive-free and 100% organic. Plus, no bulking agents, chemicals, pesticides and preservatives means you get even more easily absorbed nutrients and antioxidants like chlorophyll.
They’re made from the whole grass plant. So these wholesome whole-leaf powders contain the wheat and barley grass’ juicy nutrients along with its insoluble fibre. That’s why they’re more affordable, and ideal for people with gastrointestinal conditions or those who need a high-fibre diet.
WHAT MAKES OUR GRASSES GREATER?
Bellbottoms. Hula-hoops. Wheat grass. Three big trends that took root in the 60s. That’s when health guru and raw-foodist Ann Wigmore formed the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida. And that’s when she started treating a range of conditions with fresh wheat grass juice on-tap.
These days wheat, barley and alfalfa grasses come in more convenient and longer-lasting powder form. But the powdering process can compromise quality and purity. Unless they’re The Real Thing.
BACKGROUND: WHY YOU NEED GREEN STUFF
Green means go. But it also means grow. Why? Because, whether they’re found on the land or in the water, growing greens are full of good things like vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and the antioxidant chlorophyll. Some call them “superfoods”. Others call them “superfuels”. Either way, they’re super.
WHY YOU NEED GREENS
It’s good news for spinach fans (if they really exist). Research suggests that eating green vegetables every day does boost health. But it’s not so simple.
Most of us don’t get enough. According to an AC Nielsen poll conducted in 2004 in the US, over 85% of people don’t eat the recommended daily amount of fresh fruit and vegetables. Over 85%! That means too many people are getting too few nutrients.
Most of our foods aren’t nutritious enough. Pollution. Urbanisation. Over-farming. Industrialisation. Imagine what these side-effects of modern life do to our soil, air and water sources. And imagine what this means for the plants and vegetables growing in our soil and under our water. Basically it means they are nutritionally short-changed. And, even if you eat a balanced diet, so are you.
FACT: US dietary guidelines released in 2005 say the average adult should be eating 200 to 300% more dark green vegetables. Easier said than done. Either triple your intake or take the right supplement.
