Why exactly these five

Four of the five plants are sweet grasses: barley, Kamut® Khorasan, wheat, and oats. Botanically, they are related, but they differ significantly in growth, taste, and structure. The fifth, alfalfa, is not a grass at all, but a legume – leafy instead of stalk-shaped and noticeably less grassy.

Precisely this combination results in a balanced flavor profile: barley grass as a familiar base, oat grass as the softest note, Kamut® Khorasan slightly cereal-like, wheatgrass robustly green, alfalfa herbaceous and mild.

Each of the five plants is included at 20 percent. No single variety dominates, and none is merely listed for decorative purposes on the ingredient list.

The Five Plants

What's in Five Greens

Five plants, explained individually.

All five are obtained using the same process: pressed, filtered, gently dried – each individually, and only then mixed in equal parts.

Barley Grass (Hordeum vulgare)
The young leaf of the barley plant, harvested long before the ear forms. Long, narrow blades, vibrant green. The taste is typically grassy with a slight bitterness – the most familiar of the five varieties and for most, the introduction to green powders. In the blend, barley grass forms the foundational flavor.
Kamut® Khorasan Wheatgrass
Kamut® is not a fancy name, but a protected trademark for Khorasan wheat – a clearly defined ancient wheat variety. This means controlled varietal purity and a uniquely traceable raw material, in contrast to the general term "ancient wheat," which is not protected. Upright growth, lush green narrow stalks, with a mild grassy taste and a slightly cereal note.
Wheatgrass
The young leaf of the common wheat plant, visually barely distinguishable from barley grass. In powder form, wheatgrass proves to be the most vibrantly colored of the five varieties – deep green, with a distinctly grassy taste. Here too, the rule applies: it's the leaf that's harvested, not the grain.
Oat grass
Finer and more delicate in growth than the other sweet grasses. Oat grass is the mildest of the five varieties, the taste is soft and round. In a mix, it takes some of the harshness from the other grasses – it is the balancing tone.
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)
The only non-grass plant in the mix: Alfalfa, also called lucerne, belongs to the legumes and grows leafy with clover-like leaves and violet flowers. The taste is herbaceous rather than grassy, and thus distinctly different from the four sweet grasses. Alfalfa brings the variety to the mix that the five grasses alone would not have.

Grassaftpulver von Kraftgras

Pressed, not ground

Each of the five plants is pressed immediately after harvesting. Only the juice is processed further; insoluble fibers are separated. Less than 45 minutes pass from cutting to the dried powder.

This is the reason for the intense color – and why Five Greens dissolves completely without leaving any residue.

Juice powder and grass powder compared in detail

All Five from Utah

The five plants grow in the same soils in Utah – mineral-rich, shaped by marine deposits and volcanic activity, in addition to a dry climate and intense solar radiation. It is no coincidence that all five come from the same region: this keeps color, smell, and solubility comparable across batches.

The raw material comes from Utah, Kraftgras itself is located in St. Gallen. We select the batches, have them tested, and are responsible for the final product – bottled and distributed from Switzerland.

Frequent Questions about Five Greens

A mixture of five plants, all individually extracted as juice powder and only then mixed in equal parts: barley, Kamut® Khorasan, wheat, oats, and alfalfa – each at 20 percent. 200 grams yield approximately 48 servings.

Four of the five are sweet grasses and botanically related, but differ in taste and structure. Alfalfa is not a grass at all, but a legume, and brings a different characteristic to the mix. This results in a more balanced flavor profile than a single variety. However, those who specifically seek the taste of a particular variety are better served with a single product.

Juice powder. The fresh plants are pressed, and only the juice is processed further; the insoluble plant fibers are separated. With grass powder, the entire plant is dried and ground, and the fibers remain.

Kamut® is a protected trademark for Khorasan wheat, a clearly defined ancient wheat variety. The name guarantees varietal purity and a traceable organic raw material – unlike general terms such as "ancient wheat," which are not protected.

Only young leaves are used, harvested long before the ear and grain form. Gluten is a storage protein of the grain, not the leaf. If you suffer from celiac disease, please contact us before your first purchase – we will gladly provide you with information on the analysis values of the current batch.

Yes. If you are taking anticoagulants (blood thinners), please consult your doctor before taking this for the first time.

Stir one heaped teaspoon into approximately 200 ml of cold water, juice, milk, or a smoothie – preferably in the morning or before exercise. A shaker or milk frother helps to dissolve small lumps; these occur because we do not use anticaking agents.

Mild green and less earthy than powdered grass, because the fibers are missing. Oat grass and alfalfa remove some of the bitterness that a pure barley grass portion brings. If you want to tone down the taste, stir the powder into apple or orange juice.

Because we only state what we can prove batch by batch. Juice powder is a natural product, so nutrient levels vary depending on the harvest. Many greens powders therefore add synthetic vitamins to show consistent values – we don't. The nutritional values are listed on the packaging, not individual micronutrient promises.

Five Greens is the easier starting point: one can, all five varieties, a balanced taste. If you know that you particularly like a certain variety, the individual product is the more consistent choice. Both approaches are equally valid – it's a matter of preference.
