Monday Mumbles
A few words …and a shrug along the way…
Barley
… a type of cereal grain … a versatile grain used in cereal, various health food, animal feed and alcoholic beverages
… barley is available in various forms, and not all are considered whole grain
… hulled barley and pot/scotch barley are considered whole grain
… the more familiar pearl barley is not considered a whole grain, due to the degrees of processing it has endured
… barley flakes and barley grits may or may not be whole grain – depends on whether it was made from hulled barley or pearl barley
… great source of dietary fibre, selenium, minerals and niacin, a B vitamin … also medically proven to help lower cholestrol and heart desease
… it’s great in soups and stews … I also like adding a handful to my (side-dish of) rice – adds a lovely third dimension

Other than that I don't suppose I eat much barley. Does barley sugar count, Lara?
