Suntory Aojiru Goya Barley Grass Fiber Supplement 150 Capsules

Product Description

Suntory's "Aojiru Goya" is a popular choice even among those who typically dislike the unique flavor of Aojiru. This product combines the concentrated "vegetable power" of Japanese barley grass, rich in a wide variety of nutrients, with Okinawan bitter melon, known for its stamina-boosting properties. To enhance its taste and make it more palatable, fructooligosaccharide and matcha green tea are added, resulting in a tasty, easy-to-eat, granule-type Aojiru.

Reasons for Recommending Aojiru

Suntory has innovatively developed an "edible" granule-type Aojiru, making it easier for people to consume daily without the distinctive green smell and bitter taste typically associated with Aojiru. This product has been well received by those who do not favor the unique flavor of green juice.

Product Specification

The barley grass used in Aojiru is a nutrient-rich ingredient, especially when harvested early in the morning before the ears of barley have emerged. These young barley leaves are packed with vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and other essential nutrients. Suntory specifically chose Japanese young barley leaves, grown without pesticides, for "Aojiru Goya." The young barley grass is hand-harvested early in the morning and processed immediately by grinding it whole, rather than squeezing it.

Ingredients

Goya, or Okinawan bitter melon, is a key ingredient known for its health benefits and characteristic bitter taste. It is a vital component for enduring the hot Okinawan summers and has long been a source of energy for the locals. Suntory uses whole Okinawan bitter melons, extracting beneficial components not only from the fruit but also from the seeds and wattles.

The product also includes fructooligosaccharide, a health ingredient with a subtle sweetness, and matcha green tea from Aichi Prefecture, known for its elegant flavor.
