Z Natural Foods Organic Barley Grass Juice Powder - Made in USA, USDA Organic Nutrient-Dense Green Drink Mix for Energy, Detox with Amino Acids - Antioxidant Juice Blend for Water, Smoothies, 1 lb

I don't think it's freeze dried which is said to preserve enzymes but it is effective in terms of energy, strength and stamina. Although it seems I need to take a healing teaspoon compared to a flat teaspoon of a much more expensive brand to get the same pow, it is still a better deal for the money.

My local store has stopped carrying most leafy greens. I now use the juice powder with parsley as my greens for a smoothie. superfood combinations with barley juice powder: carrot juice powder and maca powder.I use 8:1 ratio- barley grass juice powder is the '1', maca and carrot are the '8' for the powder mixes. cycle on and off the two combos. Fermented juice powders are supposedly superior to absorb, but very expensive. keep your dose low for powder mixes to assist absorbing. use multiple doses spread out.

This is the second manufacturer I have purchased Barley Grass Juice Powder from; TerraSoul (TS from this point forward) was the first. The issue I had with TS was the taste was significantly stronger than what I was used to (prior to that, I started drinking Barley Grass from a Japanese brand Barley Grass Powder), AND it was extremely difficult to get it to mix/dissolve in water.After reading many reviews on ZNaturals (ZN), I decided to give this one a try; especially since it specifically mentions it dissolves "easily in water". Well, once I received it, I immediately put it in the refrigerator, which it recommends (interestingly, no other Barley Grass Juice Powder product that I saw recommends this), and finished the last of my TS.About a week later, I tried the ZN for the first time. First impressions, it mixed better than the TS in water; not perfectly, not 100%, but better than the TS. I still don't understand this as from everything I read, one of the advantages to Juice Powder over just Barley Grass Powder, is the removal of the cellulose, which is not digestible AND is supposedly what makes the Powder clump and NOT mix in water. So, if any Barley Grass product is a Juice Powder, its cellulose has been removed, and it should be completely dis-solvable/mixable in water, right? I even asked ZN before I bought their product about this, and they responded "mix vigorously" in water and it should completely dissolve/mix. While it did not 100% mix, it was definitely better than the TS; there was a little undissolved juice powder floating on top, and the longer I let it sit, more would settle to the top (again, not a huge amount, but not 100% dissolved either).The second thing I want to mention is the taste. As with the TS product, and apparently ANY Barley Grass Juice Powder, the taste is much, much stronger than just Barley Grass Powder (at least the Japanese brand I was drinking). It is much more like wet grass; whereas the Powder was more like a strong green tea flavor. In my opinion, the ZN was very, very slightly sweeter (natural sweet, not a sugar sweet) than the TS. I actually don't mind it, but several others I've given it to could not drink it straight, they had to add something (juice, almond milk, something...) in order to drink it. I drink it straight, just a scoop of the Juice Powder and approximately 8 ozs of water, every morning.The only other thing I will say, since there were several reviews that mentioned this, is that on some mornings, I can detect a very, very light saltiness to it; however, it is EXTREMELY light, and I really have to smack, smack, smack my lips/mouth and really try to search for it. I did not find it "overwhelmingly salty" or that it had a "strong salt flavor" to it. I DO NOT add salt to any food (on a very low sodium diet), I don't cook with salt, and I very rarely eat extremely salty foods (guilty pleasure 1 or 2 times per year). My point is, that I am usually very sensitive to salt, to the point where I have even stopped ordering steaks at many restaurants, and have pretty much stopped eating out at all, because everything seems overly salty to me now. So for what its worth, I did not find the ZN product to be salty...at all.Bottom line, if you can stand a very strong "grassy" flavor, and you mix it very, very vigorously (or in a blender or something like that), then this seems to be a good product at one of the lowest price/oz that I found. I will probably buy again.

Call I use this stuff for gout. It works great, but taste lousy. Unfortunately they all taste lousy stuff. But I think it helps my mood as well as my gout.

I like the fact that Z Natural Foods has a whole line of supplements and foods that you can order directly from the company. They seem to be of very high quality and potency, as the organic barley grass juice powder has proven to be. Very strong flavor. But good for my smoothies.

I stored this a year and a half in their bag tightly sealed.When I opened it, everything I could see was white instead of green (under the surface it was still green).I've stored other barley grass juice powders this long without this happening, so I will not be buying this brand again.

I love this powder.. so many times I had been buying barley grass powder thinking it was juiced barley grass and instead it was the whole plants dehydrated... this seems like slightly more money than some competitors But actually it is waaaaaay more for your money. Can you imagine how much juice is in here?? It is crazy!! I love this brand and highly recommend it. Oh as far as taste goes it taste super green hahaha just use less until you get used to the flavor.

Used for reducing inflammation and overall health.
