Description

Tre Mori, the company that makes this exciting product, calls it "the elixir of life." It is a light, digestible, energizing drink obtained from roasted, hull-less barley.

In fact, this hot beverage is an excellent healthy alternative to coffee but perhaps "the elixir of life" is a more enticing name.Orzo Mondo (hull-free barley) belongs to the finest variety of barley.

Beta-Glucans help reduce the amount of cholesterol and glucose in the blood, while Tocols are natural antioxidants that fight the action of free radicals that cause early cell aging.This innovative product was actually enjoyed regularly in Egypt during the era of the pharaohs.
