Health Talk: The 90 Degrees Fahrenheit Rule

90 Degrees Fahrenheit or less It's our number one law while drying and grinding barley grass. It's a very important rule to preserve the living nutrients in our barley grass and alfalfa. It is proven that exceeding 110 degrees Fahrenheit will kill all the enzymes or living nutrients in the food. We chose 90 degrees to be on the safe side, to save the precious nutrients that our bodies really need! All of our hard work to produce highest quality barley grass will go to waste if we overheat! Imagine that...

We used the VitaMix blender to grind our barley grass in our first few years before using a bigger grinder you see below. It was a time-consuming task to grind one handful of barley grass at a time in the blender.

The woodstove is a vital tool to dry the barley grass effectively as the heat from a woodstove dries the air much better than an electric or gas heater can. We keep a woodpile nearby to keep the heat up near 90 degrees as the large fan circulates the air around the large room. We have improved the insulation in the drying room to preserve the taste and smell of dried barley grass.  

This advanced electric powered grinder we use today is effective and meets our expectations to preserve the living nutrients of our barley grass. We weren’t satisfied with many electric powered grinders because their high velocity blades cause friction heat, exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit which kills the living nutrients in our barley grass.

See how Ron puts a handful of dried barley grass, one handful at a time, to keep the blades cool. Remember, even friction heat can kill the nutrients inside our barley grass!

In conclusion, the "90 degrees Fahrenheit or less" rule is one of our cornerstones to achieve preserving high quality barley grass powder for your health!

Common Colds and Flu

Common colds and flu are part of life. They're normal and happen every year. Living Food Farm says, "It's not acceptable!" No one likes getting a runny nose or being stuck on the bed all day or even days with the flu! Let's do something about it today!

Chinese wolfberries or Goji Juice are the best, containing astoundingly high Vitamins C which will help break down the mucus. The dried wolfberries are chewy and great for snacks, so bring it wherever you go! Goji juice is delicious and easy to drink down at home! If you're down with a cold, take a handful of Chinese wolfberries every 2-3 hours until the colds are gone. To prevent from getting a cold, take a handful of wolfberries per day. Goji Juice works just as good with one ounce per day.

Our barley grass is important in the healing process because they help "cleanse" the body from the colds and mucus that the wolfberries or Goji juice broke down. Barley grass, as one of its many benefits, is the "detoxifier" for the body.

To go an extra mile in the healing process, remember to "air out" your homes by opening your windows. Open for 15 to 30 minutes to let old and polluted indoor air OUT and fresh outdoor air IN. A fan or two will help the air exchange to go faster! Remember to open more than 2 windows to help the air transfer to occur effectively!

Order our barley grass, Chinese wolfberries and Goji Juice today and be prepared!

We're glad to serve you!
