What are wheatgrass and barley grass juices?

Wheat & Barley Grass are the young stalks of the wheat and barley plants. We grow our seed hydroponically with only water – no nutrients or chemicals and no soil. Our grasses are ready to harvest 7 – 10 days after sowing. We then harvest our grass, do our quality checks, then we juice the grass using only cold press, masticating juicers so no shredding of enzymes or damage caused by heat. We then bottle our juice and apply the HPP Process giving it a five week shelf life, without the use of any powdered or freeze dried grass. We then package our juice and store it ready for delivery.

What is HPP?

High pressure processing (HPP) is also called high hydrostatic pressure processing, ultra high pressure processing, pascalization or cold pasteurisation. It is a food processing technology which applies high pressure to solid or liquid foods to improve their safety.

Do enzymes get damaged in the HPP Process?

We know the importance of enzymes so we take special care to ensure that we do not destroy them as we juice. We cold press, so as to squeeze the juice from the grasses rather than chopping them up. Heat also kills enzymes, so we only use slow speed masticating juicers. We love our enzymes so much we keep them alive!
