Smoothie grass

At a young stage, barley (Hordeum vulgare var. nudum) as a representative of the sweet grasses contains a variety of essential nutrients and has multiple culinary uses. Barley grass can be easily cultivated on the window sill and in an outdoor bed. For this purpose, soak the seeds overnight before sowing in water at room temperature and afterwards disperse the seeds close to one another on the prepared substrate (soil) and keep them humid. Harvesting can start after 7-10 days. Cut the young barley grass when it has grown to a height of about 15-20 cm. You can add the finely chopped barley grass to salads or puree it with other fruits to be enjoyed as a delicious smoothie. The fresh taste of the stalks can be combined in varied ways with fruit and vegetable juices.
