says, adding that they sell it in
concentrate form in one ounce por-
tion cups.
The juice is made from barley
grass, which is grown hydroponi-

ley seed to grow
and be harvest-
ed. The juice is
extracted imme-
diately upon
harvesting and
frozen.
Donaldson
says the juice
contains
enzymes, water
soluble vita-
mins, minerals and phytonutri-
ents.
He explains phytonutrients are
"pigment related nutrients," like
chlorophyll.
"There's more and more research
being done in these areas," he
says, "and they're trying to discov-
er what role they play in health."
While the role isn't quite under-
stood, Donaldson says researchers
know it does play one.
He says they're selling it as a
food product that contributes to
overall health and wellbeing.
"We're not saying it's going to
cure this or that," he says, noting
that customers can draw their own
conclusions about whether or not
it's a benefit to them.
"We would
also like to regis-
ter it with the
newly formed
Natural Health
Product
Directorate,"

says Donaldson,
noting they're
about halfway to
doing that, but
require addition-
al analysis and
quantification of
the properties of
the barley grass
juice.
"In another
year or so, we
might be there,"
he said. "But at
this point it's
just sold as a
functional food,
like any other
vegetable you
would purchase,
only in this case
it's in a juice
form."
He says
they're currently
selling the juice
from their main
farm just north
of London and
from a dealer in
the Lambeth
area.
"The word of
mouth side is
slowly growing,"
he says. "Within
the year we hope
to get it in some
key health food
stores or some
general food
stores that cater
to these type of
products."
