Whole Barley
Details
Whole barley grains are the unprocessed form of barley, with the outer husk removed but retaining the bran, germ, and endosperm. These grains have a chewy texture and a mild, nutty flavor. They are highly nutritious, rich in fiber, vitamins (particularly B-vitamins), minerals (such as magnesium and iron), and antioxidants.
Barley can also be sprouted to create barley grass for juices and smoothies. Additionally, whole barley is often used as a side dish or mixed into casseroles, and it serves as a key ingredient in certain breakfast cereals. As a whole grain, it is an excellent choice for those looking to incorporate more fibre and nutrients into their diet.

Barley
Barley is one of the oldest domesticated crops having been first recorded in cultivation in prehistoric times.
The grain is covered by an outer seed coat that covers the bran layer, a large starchy endosperm, and an oil-containing germ. The hull and bran are removed by a process called pearling. Once pearled it can be further processed to flour, semolina or flakes.
Barley flakes are ideal ingredients for muesli – or even an excellent replacement for oat flakes – they are sweeter with a lower fat content. Try making 'granola' - lightly toast with a few raisins, a drizzle of honey, sunflower or pumpkin seeds and perhaps some nuts.
