Barley

Barley is an ancient grain, possibly one of the first few crops ever cultivated. In Egypt, it made up half of a poor man’s diet. It’s commonly used in the manufacturing of beer, but its value as a health food has become increasingly important.

Description

Barley is a complete grain, and when compared to processed white flour, barley yields more nutrients and fiber. It also received the rare approval of the FDA, which officially declared that regular consumption of barley may reduce the risk of heart disease by eliminating cholesterols and fats already established in your system.

Benefits

  • Barley lowers low density lipoproteins and triglycerides and is part of a heart healthy diet
  • It is low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium
  • High in essential vitamins and minerals, it is a great source of fiber, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium
  • Researchers think barley may increase the excretion of bile acids or neutral sterols, increase catabolism of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and reduce fat absorption
  • There are links between barley and lowering blood sugar, potentially helping diabetic patients
