PROPERTIES

• Organic barley grains are a good source of energy, especially slow-release carbohydrates, and are remineralizing due to their content of potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and phosphorus. But its greatest treasure lies in its trace elements, including the antioxidant selenium, zinc, manganese, and copper, which make it an ideal food for deficiencies. In addition, barley is rich in several B-group vitamins (B1, B3, and B6). Although it does not have as much protein as wheat, its contribution is not negligible (almost 10%). Its soluble fiber, rich in beta-glucans, is associated with the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

PREPARATION

• Organic barley grains can be used to replace part (or all) of the rice in a recipe. The barley grains should be soaked overnight and then cooked for 40-50 minutes. Barley flour and semolina can be obtained by grinding the grains, and they can be easily added to purees, porridges, or used as a substitute for flours from other cereals, such as wheat. Of course, barley is ideal for making a wide range of flatbreads, where this cereal shines (its low gluten content makes barley flour loaves somewhat dense, similar to rye bread).
