Young barley grass or young barley juice?

Young barley grass is the young barley shoots that are harvested during the growing season, usually 7-10 days after sowing. They are harvested in the form of grass and then can be dried and processed into powder or extract. Young barley grass contains many nutrients, such as protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, as well as chlorophyll.

Young barley juice is a product obtained by pressing juice from young barley shoots. The process of obtaining the juice consists of squeezing juice from young barley grass using a special press or juicer. The juice can then be dried under pressure at a low temperature.

Powdered juice differs from powdered grass in that it has more bioactive substances and less fiber, which is removed during pressing. The grass is the basic raw material that can be immediately powdered or juiced beforehand.
