Information Aojiru (VEGETABLE GREEN JUICE) Original Aojiru is mainly made from kale, a type of vegetable with green or purple leaves.

RESEARCH OF AOJIRU Research Report Aojiru is a health drink made from squeezed green leafed vegetables. The vegetables mainly used for aojiru are kale, young barley grass, bitter squash powder and green leaves. It is a Japanese vegetable drink most commonly made from kale. The drink is also known as green drink or green juice in English, a direct translation of the Japanese meaning. Aojiru is a powder made from nutrient and fiber-rich young barley leaves. The leaves are ground into a powder and packaged into individual-serving size envelopes. When compared with other vegetables and grains, barley contains an excellent quantity of dietary fiber and essential nutrients. Why has aojiru reached this extraordinary level of popularity in Japan? Aojiru is of course low in sugar, protein, and fat, so regardless how much you drink, there s little fear of gaining weight. And as is obvious from its vivid green color, aojiru is rich in chlorophyll, which purifies and lowers the viscosity of the blood. The positive effects of aojiru are too numerous to list: indeed, drinking it is an ideal way to stay healthy today. Still, the full extent of aojiru health benefits remains unknown. Private companies, universities, and medical centers are now collaborating to learn more. 11
What is Kale? Research Report Kale is a form of cabbage (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group), dark green or purple in color. It is considered as a wild cabbage. Kale is a hardy plant and plant disease resistant compared to other vegetables. Kale is a highly nutritious vegetable as you can see in the image below. What is interesting about Kale is, besides all the nutrients, it contains powerful antioxidant properties and is anti-inflammatory. Kale is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, and reasonably rich in calcium. Especially these two carotenoids abundant in kale, lutein and zeaxanthin act like sun-block and help prevent damage to the eyes from excessive exposure to ultraviolet light. Several studies found people with a history of eating lutein-rich foods like Kale had a 22% lower risk of developing cataracts. Enseki Aojiru contains significant amount of both lutein and zeaxanthin. Lutein also found to have the ability to prevent atherosclerosis. 12
Research Report Not only does it contain the highly nutritious elements found in kale (including some 40 vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients), but these nutrients exist in almost perfect balance. With new medical evidence demonstrating the positive effects of drinking raw kale juice on a daily basis, aojiru has been dubbed a miracle drink. Among vitamins, kale is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, C, E, and K. Compared to cabbage, which has always been considered a nutritious vegetable, kale is 58 times higher in vitamin A, one and a half times higher in B1, five times higher in B2, twice as high in C, 24 times higher in E, and two and a half times higher in vitamin K. As for minerals, kale has three to five times more calcium and iron than cabbage, and one and a half to three times more sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Kale is also high in fiber, which supports the functions of the colon; anti-cancer flavonoids and MSM (essential mineral sulfur); anti-oxidants, which prevent aging and lifestyle-related illnesses; polysaccharides and polyphenols, used to treat allergies; and have twice the calcium an immunity booster of milk. 13
