Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a cereal belonging to the sweet grass family and has long been cultivated as food and animal feed. It is known for its adaptability to different climatic conditions and soil types. Barley is mainly used as a feed grain, but also for the production of malt for beer and spirits, as well as for food.
Barley is an annual plant with upright or bent stems and spike-shaped inflorescences.
There is winter and spring barley, with winter barley being sown in autumn and spring barley in spring.
Barley thrives best in deep, well-moistened soil, but can also be grown in less favourable conditions.
The plant is less hardy than wheat or rye.
Barley contains 60-70% carbohydrates (starch), 11% protein, 10% fibre and 2% each of fat and minerals, if the husks are removed.
Barley contains beta-glucans, which can have a positive effect on cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
