Q: Do you rotate your fields?
A: Yes, generally after 1-2 years.
Green beans are grown in the fields during the summer
to add nitrogen to the soil. [back to top]
Q: What does BarleyGreen do for you?
A: That is a limiting question but we would say that it is like drinking the juice
from one of the world's most nutritionally
complete plants. It provides you with an abundance
of live enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants,
and other phytonutrients. Good nutrition is something
we all need. [back to top]
Q: Your label indicates that most nutrients are in very low quantities; yet you state BarleyGreen supposedly contains most everything
we need. Please explain.
A: BarleyGreen is nutritionally diverse. The
benefit of taking BarleyGreen is that many of the nutrients our bodies need can be found in BarleyGreen. One must remember
that the value of consuming a whole food is in the
many nutrients working synergistically, making them
much more effective and available. It is the abundance
of the different vitamins, minerals, antioxidants,
live enzymes, and phytonutrients that make BarleyGreen so beneficial.

Q: What are the Hot and Cold Water tests?
A: These two simple tests indicate
if a product contains fiber (Cold Water Test) and
viable proteins (Hot Water Test). The Cold Water
Test: Place one-half teaspoon of either BarleyGreen
or a competitor's product in a glass of cold
water and stir. Observe after a few minutes. BarleyGreen
will remain dissolved and the water will appear
uniform while a competitor's product containing
fiber or insoluble substances will have settling
at the bottom of the glass. The Hot Water Test:
Sprinkle one-half teaspoon of either BarleyGreen
or a competitor's product into a glass of very
hot water and stir gently for a couple of seconds.
BarleyGreen will clump up because the shapes of
the living enzymes are being changed by heat for
the first time, whereas the competitor's product
will disperse and not clump up because the enzymes
have already been "denatured" by heat
and do not change shape when heated again.

Q: BarleyGreen makes me feel
so energetic. Does it contain any caffeine?
A: No, BarleyGreen is made from barley juice
extract and contains no caffeine. Numerous customers
have given us testimonies of increased energy. BarleyGreen is very nutritious and provides your body with raw materials that can be converted into energy naturally - unlike caffeine which simply gives one a temporary
energy lift. [back to top]
