To optimize our health and well being, the ideal balance of food and food residue in the body is 80% alkaline and 20% acidic. This is largely determined by the food we eat, as foods are either acid forming or alkaline forming.

This is not to be confused with the immediate acidity of a food. Lemons for example, maybe considered as acid forming but lemons, once metabolized actually leave an alkaline residue in the body.

Barley Grass is full of natural ionic minerals that help to keep the acid-alkaline balance in check.
