Think Healthy,
Think Barley!
The United States Department
of Agriculture’s Food Guide Pyra
mid zeros in on grain products as a
key food group for healthy eating.
It recommends that we consume 6
to 11 servings of foods from this
category each day.
If you are searching for a diffe
rent grain to try, try barley! Barley
makes a natural choice because of
its many nutritional benefits. This
wholesome grain is loaded with
carbohydrates, contains very little
fat, and is cholesterol free. And
like other grains, barley is a rich
source of soluble and insoluble
dietary fiber.
Laboratory studies show that
insoluble fiber can be extremely
effective In maintaining regular
intestinal function which helps
reduce the incidence of certain
types of cancer such as colon
cancer. Other research shows that
soluble fiber can help lower blood
cholesterol levels and reduce the
risk of heart disease.
Barley, in its natural state, con
sists of a kernel that is enclosed in
a tough hull. When the kernel is
removed, the kernel is polished
(pearled). Pearl barley may be
found in the rice and noodle aisle
of your supermarket.

When preparing pearl barley,
here's a good rule of thumb: One
cup of raw pearl barley yields
about 3-1/2 cups cooked barley.
Barley is also available in flour,
flakes and grits in health food
stores and in some supermarkets.
Barley is also used as an ingre
dient in many prepared food pro
ducts such as breakfast cereals,
soups, pilaf mixes, breads, cook
ies, crackers and snack bars.
Here is a recipe for making your
own Barley Pilaf Mix rather than
buying it in the supermarket. To
cut down on preparation time,
assemble this flavorful pilaf mix
in advance and store in a zip-top
plastic bag in a cool, dry place. Be
sure to attach a card with the cook
ing directions to the bag.
