Black Barley

Black Barley is a unique, nutrient-dense grain that retains its full bran layer, providing both a delightful chewy texture and superior nutritional benefits. Originating in Ethiopia and now also grown in the USA, black barley is the only grain that can be enjoyed straight from the field to the fork without processing. This whole-grain barley has a nutty, slightly bitter flavor that pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, and stuffings, and it holds its shape, making it perfect for hearty, comforting meals.

Historically, barley was prized by ancient civilizations, and Roman gladiators were known as “barley-eaters” due to its sustaining properties. Rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, Vitamin B6, and folate, black barley offers multiple health benefits. It promotes digestive health, supports heart function, and helps balance blood sugar levels. Additionally, its antioxidant properties, including anthocyanins and azelaic acid, are believed to support skin health by improving elasticity and clearing acne or age spots.
