Earth Hulled (lightly pearled) Organic
Similar Products:
Barley is a grain that comes from the grass, Hordeum vulgare. Earth Barley is organic, and still contains some of its fibrous outer hull and bran, having been only lightly polished.
This nutritious grain contains eight essential amino acids, and is rich in fibre, some B vitamins, iron, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc. It is widely eaten throughout the world as a key ingredient in porridge, gruel, stuffings, baked goods, soups and stews -traditionally made in Scotland, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Africa.
Barley has the same glycemic index as whole grain wheat, but seems to have a balancing effect on blood sugar levels for up to 10 hours after consumption. This may be due to high levels of insoluble fibre, which takes the digestive tract longer to break down.
High levels of soluble and insoluble fibre from barley also support digestive and cardiovascular health.
