This centuries-old grain not only adds flavor and texture to favorite dishes, but plenty of soluble fiber too. Clinical studies prove that the soluble fiber found in barley lowers cholesterol and reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. In fact, the heart-healthy benefits of barley are so significant that the US Food and Drug Administration authorized a health claim that barley beta-glucan soluble fiber reduces the risk of heart disease.  Our waxy hulless barley has 2 times more beta-glucan soluable fiber than oats and other types of barley.  More importantly, this fiber can produce 5-20 times more viscosity in the small intestine, which is believed to be the most important characteristic in cholesterol reduction. A 40 gram serving of Barley Flakes or "Boost'R Flakes" provides 3 g of soluble fiber.  Oatmeal and most other barley provides only 1.6 to 2 g of soluble fiber per serving.

Using barley flour
Barley flour adds a subtle nutty flavor and fiber to baked goods.  While barley flour contains gluten, the protein that makes baked goods rise, the type of gluten in barley does not promote adequate rising on its own.  So it’s best to use barley flour in combination with all-purpose enriched wheat or whole wheat flour.  As a rule of thumb, barley flour may be substituted for about 1/3 of the total flour used in yeast breads.  For most quick breads, muffins, cookies and bars, barley flour may be substituted for about ½ of the total amount of flour.

To cook hulless  barley
In medium saucepan with lid, bring barley; return to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 45 minutes or until barley is tender and liquid is absorbed. Makes about 3 to 3-1/2 cups. Place extra cooked barley in an airtight container and refrigerate or freeze for up to one week. Add cooked barley to soups, casseroles and salads for extra fiber and flavor. Hulless barley is highly superior to pearled barley in nutrition and during reheating will keep the kernel texture.

 

 

 
 
 
  
 

 

 

 

Hulless barley
Hulless barley comes to you straight from the field with no loss of nutrients in processing.  Naturally high in protein and fiber, with a low glycemic index, hulless barley is high in beta glucan that can lower cholesterol.
