Cevada, or barley in Portuguese, is an ancient whole grain celebrated for its nutritional benefits and versatility. Native to Eurasia, it's been a staple in global cuisines, particularly in soups, stews, and porridges. Cevada is packed with fiber, especially beta-glucans, which support heart health by aiding in cholesterol management. It's also rich in vitamins and minerals like manganese, selenium, and B vitamins, essential for energy production and immune function. Additionally, its low glycemic index makes it a smart choice for those managing blood sugar levels. Barley is a good plant-based protein source and contains antioxidants that combat inflammation. However, it's not gluten-free, so it’s unsuitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Whether enjoyed as a warming breakfast or a hearty side, cevada is a nutrient-dense addition to a balanced diet.
