Hi Jane.

There is very little nutritional difference between wheat grass and barley grass, although it is important to note that barley grass acts as a free radical scavenger that also reduces inflammation and pain, and wheat grass contains P4D1, a "gluco-protein" that acts like an antioxidant, reducing inflammation. It is also thought to be able to help the body attack cancer cells.

I would say wheatgrass would be just a tad better as it has the antioxidant which sways blue =)

It is VILE. The only thing that I've ever tasted that was worse was sea urchin sushi.

I think it's fine and may even help to drink BOTH. They are prob. pretty similar but they will have slight chemical differences that can't hurt and may help. So one or the other or both, all valid choices.

I asked the lady at the store and she said they are as good as each other =)
