Biomed Orasmix Grass Powder

Three grass and sprout powders in one jar

• Barley grass, Finnish wheatgrass juice powder and Finnish broccoli sprout powder
• Three ingredients, no additives
• Gluten free despite the names, because grasses are harvested before the grain forms
• Mild in flavour, 80 g

Orasmix is a blend of three green powders: barley grass, wheatgrass juice powder and broccoli sprout powder. The first two are long-standing Biomed products, the company having made wheatgrass products in Finland for more than twenty years. Broccoli sprout powder is the newer addition, and it is a source of sulforaphane.

The gluten question comes up every time: wheat and barley grass are harvested at the grass stage, before any grain develops, which is why they count as vegetables rather than cereals and why this powder suits a gluten-free diet.

Composition

Per 100 g the powder provides 44.4 g of fibre and 15.7 g of protein, which makes it high in fibre and high in protein. The flavour is mild, which is not true of every greens powder.

Barley grass and wheatgrass are a natural source of vitamins and minerals, and barley grass contributes to the protection of body tissues and cells from oxidative damage.
