Barley is the earliest known grain to have been cultivated by man. Originally used to make bread and today for making beer. It produces a low-gluten flour and produces nourishing bread that keeps well. Pearl barley is used in soups, broths and stews.

Barley is known to help fight diabetes because the grain contains essential vitamins and minerals and is an excellent source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan soluble fiber. Research has shown that barley promotes healthy blood sugar by slowing glucose absorption.
