Experience the goodness of New Zealand-grown barley grass.

Matakana Superfoods' certified-organic Barley Grass Powder (a.k.a Barley Leaf Powder) is a natural, nutritious, green powder making it an ideal plant-based option for the whole family.

Our growing partner specializes in growing and processing certified organic whole-food plant powders, such as barley leaf and wheatgrass, with origins in the Canterbury Plains. They manage 600 hectares of organically farmed land, producing leaf crops under strict organic practices—no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or fungicides.

Harvests occur at the crop’s peak vitality, preserving high levels of nutrients like minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and chlorophyll. They harvest their greens at the optimal growth stage for nutrient density, which is typically just before or right at the barley grass’s "jointing stage", when the grass is about 7–10 inches tall (roughly 8–12 days after germination). 

They use hot air-drying systems—advanced, thermodynamically engineered—designed to “snap capture” plants at their freshest for high nutritional retention. Processing from field to mill happens in under 24 hours, ensuring freshness. This timing ensures the highest concentration of vitamins, chlorophyll, and antioxidants before the grass starts to mature or flower, which can reduce nutrient content.

Serving Suggestion

Add 1 teaspoon to water, juice or your favourite smoothie.

Caution

Ingredients do not contain gluten but are packed in a facility that may handle products containing gluten, nuts, and sesame seeds.

Storage

Reseal pouch. Store in a cool dry place.

FAQ's

Your pouches aren't biodegradable. Why?
Many of our products contain super nutrients like polyphenols and other phytonutrients. To ensure these nutrients are retained, we use premium, multi-layered, fully-lined metallised foil pouches. The internal compartment is lined with food grade plastic, so no metal or aluminium component comes into contact with the food. Although biodegradable pouches may seem like the more environmentally friendly option, they're more porous and allow the food and powders to come into contact with degrading factors such as oxygen and moisture, therefore reducing the potency, quality and shelf life of the product. Anything other than fully metalized triple laminated foil is prone to early degradation. We also endeavour to avoid using single serve sachets due to packaging wastage and high carbon footprint.
Are your products tested?
Testing & product specification parameters differ depending on the type of ingredient. If you'd like to see specifications or test results for a certain product please email hello@matakanasuperfoods.com.
What does the AsureQuality “organic” mark mean?
AsureQuality is New Zealand's most recognised name in food assurance and certification, and is backed by the reputation of being a New Zealand government-owned business.

When you see the AsureQuality “certified organic” mark on a product label, it means the producer has been independently audited and verified against strict organic standards. Specifically, it guarantees that:

• No synthetic pesticides, fertilisers, or GMOs have been used. It also covers the implementation of sustainable growing practices and, for animal products, that animals are raised humanely, fed only organic feed, and given no synthetic hormones or antibiotics.
• Independent verification has taken place - producers are independently verified and certified, not simply self-declared as organic.
• Full supply chain integrity is maintained - from the farm or orchard through to the factory, solely organic inputs and processes have been used. Every organic producer is audited in person every year.
• Internationally recognised standards are met - the AsureQuality Organic Standard is MPI and IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements) accredited, and based on EU Regulations as well as the Australian National Standard, giving certified products access to organic markets worldwide.
