Green juice is a drink made from young barley leaves, young sweet potato leaves, and young kale leaves.
Green juice was originally created as a convenient, easy-to-store alternative to meet the needs of certain populations that did not consume enough greens. In the 1930s and 1940s, agricultural chemist Schnabel added seedlings of grass plants, including barley, to animal feed and found that they could enhance animal performance.
Then he simply patented and started a company that dried and ground wheat seedlings to make animal feed. Then, in a bold move, he made wheat seedling meal into a dietary supplement for human consumption and sold it to major pharmacies in North America. In later decades, the wheat seedling flour evolved into barley green juice, which is the pulping of the young leaves of barley seedlings.
