Barley is a versatile cereal grain with a nut-like flavor. This grain is an excellent source of fiber, and is a good source of vitamins B1 and B3. You can mix barley flour with wheat flour when making breads and muffins, use cracked barley or barley flakes to make hot cereal or add barley to your favorite soups and stews to give them flavor and extra heartiness.
