MINERALS AND VITAMINS. Barley groats are rich in carbohydrates and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and calcium. Scientists have studied their properties and found that they contain almost all the biologically active nutrients the human body needs.
MULTIPLE BENEFITS. The water in which barley (barley and pearl barley) groats are soaked is rich in gordecin, a natural antibiotic that treats fungal skin diseases. It also improves expectoration, tones, stimulates milk production in breastfeeding women and has a positive effect on the liver.
SOURCE OF FIBRE. Barley has a high fibre content. Fibre supports the proper functioning of the digestive system and helps regulate bowel function. The human gut does not digest fibre, so as it travels through the gut it picks up leftover food and other unnecessary substances and removes them from the body.
A FILLING AND NUTRITIOUS PRODUCT. Thanks to its high fibre and carbohydrate content, meals prepared with barley groats will keep you feeling fuller for longer. For this reason, it is highly recommended for people who are prone to obesity or who are trying to regulate their body weight.
UNIVERSAL CROUP. Barley groats have a mild, natural flavour that makes them very versatile. They can be used to make both sweet and savoury porridges, as well as to flavour and enrich salads. Add barley groats to the soup for a creamy texture (great for mushroom soup).
