Healthy Reasons to Love Barley Tea
Barley tea is a local, healthy alternative to high-calorie, sugary, caffeinated beverages! It has a delicious, soothing roasty nutty taste, and comforting popcorn aroma. Read on to see what makes it so healthy and unique:
1) No Caffeine: mo'mugi is naturally free of caffeine so it won't give you the jitters or dehydrate you. And you don't need to add anything to make it taste great, because it already does...naturally.
2) No Sugar: mo'mugi barley tea is a sugar-free, natural drink, making it a great option for people who are trying to maintain a healthy weight or lose weight. Unlike other sugary beverages, including juices, kombucha, and sports drinks, since it doesn't contain any natural or added sugar or colourings, it's a healthier option.
3) Ultra Hydrating: Barley tea is a great way to stay hydrated, as it increases blood circulation faster than water, as stated in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology. You can drink it all day long like a delicious flavoured water, without getting bored and without worrying about caffeine, sugar, or calories. And it's a fantastic hangover helper.
4) Contains Antioxidants: Barley tea provides antioxidants, as outlined in The Semantic Scholar, which help to protect your body against damage from free radicals. This can help to reduce your risk of chronic diseases. Thumbs up to that!
5) Promotes Digestive Health: Barley tea contains compounds that can help to improve your digestive health. According to the study in the The Japan Food Journal, it soothes stomach inflammation.
6) Won't stain your teeth: Barley tea, unlike other teas and coffee, does not contain tannins which can leave your drink too bitter to enjoy, and stain your pearly whites. In fact, the enzymes in roasted barley tea have anti-adhesive properties that can protect against plaque, as stated in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Hooray!
