Yoshihide Hagiwara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, M.D. (1925 - 2004) was a pharmaceutical scientist who developed the barley juice powder process and created "BarleyGreen". Dr. Hagiwara considered Barley grass as the most nutritional of the green grasses. After studying green plants for many years, Dr. Hagiwara observed: "It was clear to me, then, that the leaves of the cereal grasses provide the nearest thing this planet offers to the perfect food. For reasons of palatability, higher nutrient content, and favorable harvesting features, green barley stands out as the best among these".
