Barley
Barley is a type of grain that is commonly used in cooking and food production. It comes from a plant called Hordeum vulgare, which belongs to the grass family. Barley has been a staple food for centuries and is known for its nutty flavour and chewy texture.
To make barley ready for consumption, the barley grains are harvested from the plant and then cleaned and processed. The outer hull is removed, leaving behind the barley kernel, which can then be further processed into various forms such as pearl barley, barley flour, or barley flakes. These different forms can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to salads and baked goods.
Barley appears on food labels because it is a versatile ingredient that adds texture and flavour to many dishes. It is commonly found in products like bread, cereal, and beer. Barley can also be used as a thickener in soups and stews, and as a base for malt extract, which is used in brewing and baking. Overall, barley is a nutritious and wholesome ingredient that can enhance the taste and nutritional profile of many foods.
