Barley

One popular cereal grain is barley. There are numerous uses for barley, a cereal grain that is safe to eat. In soups, stews, casseroles, or served on its own as a side dish, you may substitute it for almost any whole grain or rice.

It is particularly nutrient-dense because of its high fiber content and abundance of vitamins and minerals like selenium, manganese, and molybdenum. In people who are not used to eating a lot of fiber, whole grain barley may cause bloating due to its high fiber level. Barley furthermore includes gluten. For those who are gluten sensitive, this could be problematic. It might be easier to tolerate refined barley, such as pearl or scotch barley. Oats, brown rice, quinoa, or buckwheat are some of the additional grains or pseudocereals that can be used in place of barley.
