Green Barley Grass – The Wonder Food

Barley grass is one of the green grasses – the only vegetation on earth that can supply sole nutritional support from birth to old age. Agronomists place this ancient cereal grass as being cultivated as early as 7000 b.c., probably in the dry lands of southwestern Asia.

In the West, barley grass was first known for the barley grain it produces; there is written mention of the grain as early as 2800 b.c. in Babylon. Barley is also a Biblical food, mentioned no fewer than 32 times in the Bible.

Barley Grass vs. Barley Grain

Green grasses are at their nutritional peak before they enter the reproductive cycle. To create grain, the plant must channel its nutrition up to the seed heads. When grasses are harvested before they enter the reproductive cycle, they have a different chemical makeup from their adult, largely depleted, counterparts. Young grasses contain about the same vitamins and minerals as dark green vegetables. When these grasses are juiced and concentrated, as in ^AIMBarleyLife^®, they are far superior nutritionally. This amazing discovery is supported by data.

For example, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Nutrient Database, barley contains 22 International Units (IU) of vitamin A per 100 g and barley flour contains no vitamin A. ^AIMBarleyLife^®, however, contains 19,700 IU of Vitamin A per 100 g. This is 2½ times the beta carotene found in an equivalent weight of raw carrots and about 25 times that found in an equivalent weight of raw broccoli. Vitamin A is an important antioxidant known to protect cells. It is implicated in cardiovascular health and is believed to have anti-cancer benefits.

To use another example, barley contains 33 mg of calcium per 100 g and barley flour contains 32 mg of calcium per 100 g. ^AIMBarleyLife^® contains 730 mg of calcium per 100 g. This is more than 7 times the calcium found in an equivalent weight of raw spinach and 15 times the calcium found in an equivalent weight of raw broccoli. Calcium is essential for bone development. You can see then, that grasses, when juiced and concentrated as in ^AIMBarleyLife^®, offer us great nutrition.

Why is ^AIMBarleyLife^® Better?

AIM's barley seed varieties provide the widest window of harvest.

AIM's barley crops thrive in the clean, green, pristine lands of New Zealand and Canada in which the nutrients in the soil contribute to the nutrients in the plants and the juice.

AIM's barley crops are staggered for a consistent processing campaign in which each field is harvested when the plants are bursting with nutrition.

AIM's barley crops are harvested when they are at their nutritional peak, before they enter the reproductive cycle and use their nutrients to produce grain.

AIM's barley crops are cut only once, allowing for optimum nutrient density.

AIM's harvested barley leaves are juiced and chilled immediately, rendering the enzymes dormant and preserving their precious nutrients.

AIM's barley juice is powdered using the most advanced and efficient methods for ensuring maximum freshness and nutrition.

Whole body health results when all body systems are in balance. No single body system is targeted – we make choices that keep all systems toxin-free and that supply all systems with optimum nutrition. The result is total wellness: waking up every day feeling great!

Holistic Approach

^AIMBarleyLife^® is a superior green juice because of ambitious research and a holistic approach to crop management. AIM's barley thrives in a clean, green, pristine environment. The seed variety AIM uses was chosen only after thorough investigation and field trials showed that it would give the widest window of harvest. Because the planting must be staggered for a consistent processing campaign, this wider window provides the ability to harvest each field at precisely the optimal stage when each plant is bursting with nutrition.

The soil from which it is grown is blessed with an optimal pH level, microactivity, and trace elements that combine to contribute substantially and critically to the nutritional profile of the juice itself. Holistic management also requires the harvested plants to be juiced and chilled immediately, thus rendering the enzymes dormant and preserving precious nutrients. And every phase of researching and developing ^AIMBarleyLife^® was influenced by a single, but all-encompassing concept – Life.

Dennis Itami (AIM President and CEO) explains, "We have expressed at every turn that we have to improve life. We have to have life in the seed in the form of high germination. The soil has to have life in it. That's why we chose soil teeming with microactivity. If you have live seed in a dead soil, you'll still get barley, but it doesn't have those live, bioactive factions. During cropping and harvesting, we have to maintain and preserve the stability of that green juice, that lovely, live, green juice. Even the name has life in it. I believe that divine guidance led Ron Wright (Senior Vice President) to give an order that we need to have 'life' in the name of this product. The result of all this work is ^AIMBarleyLife^®."

And, indeed, ^AIMBarleyLife^® is the result of 20 years of experience and dedication from those people who comprise AIM. But for the consumer, it's much simpler than that. It is the best whole food answer to today's quick-paced, nutritionally deficient lifestyle.

^AIMBarleyLife^® is an all-natural, green barley grass juice powder concentrate that helps provide the daily nutrition you need to develop a strong foundation for your good health.
