SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSIONS:
(ORAC) Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity
Barley contains 25, 500 Radical Absorbance Capacity per 100 grams. The Higher the ORAC Number, the Greater the amount of Antioxidants in the food. As per Scientists test tube analysis, No other food can give this antioxidant protection. USDA recommends an ORAC unit ingestion of about 3, 000 to 5, 000 units daily.
