Description

Barley is actually a type of grass seed which is rich in beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that forms a gel when combined with fluid. This fibre is known to help blood sugar control and insulin resistance.

Pearl barley is a good source of fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, iron, and magnesium. It is also low in fat and cholesterol-free.

Eating pearl barley has been linked to several health benefits. For example, it may help lower cholesterol levels, improve digestion, and regulate blood sugar levels. It may also help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer.

Pearl barley can be cooked on its own or used as an ingredient in a variety of dishes. It has a nutty and slightly sweet flavour and a chewy texture. It can be added to soups, stews, and casseroles for added nutrition and texture or used in place of rice or other grains in pilafs and salads.

It’s important to note that pearl barley is a grain and may contain gluten, which can be a problem for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
