Barley is a cereal grain derived from the annual grass Hordeum vulgare. It serves as a major animal fodder, as a base malt for beer and certain distilled beverages, and as a component of various health foods. It is used in soups and stews, and as bread in various cultures.Barley contains eight essential amino acids.According to a recent study, eating whole grain barley can regulate blood sugar that means reduce blood glucose response to a meal for up to 10 hours after consumption compared to white or even whole-grain wheat..So cook up using any dishes with barley as main ingredients for breakfast...
