Shefford — this is barley, a cereal crop widely used in the food industry and agriculture. It contains a significant amount of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, making it a valuable source of nutrients. Barley is used to produce bread, beer, and other products, and is also used as animal feed and part of the human diet.
Young Shefford barley is a rich source of chlorophyll, calcium, iron, potassium, folic acid, and vitamins A, C, E, as well as B-group vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12). It contains biologically active substances, including amino acids, trace elements, and powerful antioxidants such as glycosyltectin, which is even more effective than vitamin E in combating free radicals.
