About Uncooked barley

Barley is a versatile whole grain with ancient origins in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. Known for its nutty flavor and chewy texture, uncooked barley is a powerhouse of nutrition. It contains essential nutrients like fiber, protein, B vitamins, magnesium, and selenium. Its high fiber content, particularly soluble fiber, supports digestive health and helps manage cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Barley is low in fat and can be a hearty addition to soups, stews, salads, or pilafs. While pearled barley is commonly available, hulled barley retains more nutrients as it undergoes less processing. However, those with gluten sensitivities should avoid it, as barley contains gluten. As part of a balanced diet, uncooked barley is a healthy, nutrient-dense ingredient that supports heart health, sustained energy, and overall wellness.
