Did you know? Barley is a wonderfully versatile cereal grain with a rich nut-like flavor and an appealing chewy, pasta-like consistency. Its appearance resembles wheat berries, although it is slightly lighter in color.

Sprouted barley is naturally high in maltose, a sugar that serves as the basis for both malt syrup sweetener.

When fermented, barley is used as an ingredient in beer and other alcoholic beverages.
