Barley, one of the first crops
cultivated by man, has been used
as a food since Biblical times.
Barley is an excellent source of
soluble fiber. It contains a higher
beta-glucan content than oats.
The high content of beta-glucan
can be effective in lowering
serum cholesterol levels. Barley
is low in fat, has no cholesterol
and also contains B vitamins,
protein, and carbohydrates.
Due to its neutral flavor, barley's
nutrition and texture works well
blended into a variety of foods.
