Holistic Barley Production
AIM BarleyLife ® — Holistic approach to crop management
AIM BarleyLife ® is a superior green juice because of a holistic approach to crop management. The Barley is grown and juiced in Pollution free areas in Canada and new Zealand.
The Barley Seed
The varieties of seed used to grow AIM BarleyLife ® provide the widest window of harvest.
The Growing Environment
AIM BarleyLife ® is grown 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 juice. These environments boast rich, volcanic soil with an optimal pH level and microactivity and trace elements, mineral-enhanced glacial water, and clear air free of airborne toxins because there are no smokestack industries. New Zealand is also unique in that prevailing winds keep away pollutants from other continents.
Staggered crops
AIM BarleyLife ® crops are staggered for a consistent processing campaign.
Nutritional peak
AIM BarleyLife ® crops are harvested when they are at their nutritional peak, before they enter the reproductive cycle and use their nutrients to produce grain. This is when the plants are bursting with nutrition and the nutrients are most potent and alive.
Time of day
AIM BarleyLife ® crops are harvested late in the day when data show that antioxidant levels are higher.
Just One cutting
AIM BarleyLife ® crops are cut only once, so as not to sacrifice quality. AIM discovered through laboratory analysis that taking two or more cuttings from the same plants, as some producers of green grass juices do, compromised their nutritional density. The nutrient levels in the second cutting were always less than the nutrient levels in the first cutting, and so on.
Juicing and chilling
AIM BarleyLife ® crops are juiced and chilled immediately upon harvesting, rendering the enzymes dormant and preserving their precious nutrients. AIM developed a patent-pending method to process the juice and keep it colder than in other processes. Powder AIM BarleyLife ® juice is powdered using the most advanced and efficient methods for ensuring maximum freshness and nutrition. The juice is cold filtered and spray dried with minimal heat and rapid drying to ensure that the nutrients remain intact.
