Barley groats - Pearl barley 1000g - VIVIO

Barley groats are nothing more than the ground grain of one of the oldest cereals—barley. They are obtained by cleaning the grains and removing the covering of the fruits and seeds. The next stage of production is polishing, crushing, cutting, grinding, and roasting. Barley groats are still undervalued on Polish tables. In Tibet, they are the staple diet of the local population. In Asian countries, health-promoting tea made from naked barley grains is very popular. Glassy grains with a thin hull are used for barley production. Barley groats should be light gray in color with a greenish or yellowish tint. They have a very distinctive taste and smell. There are several types of barley: pearl barley, rolled pearl barley (Kujawy), broken barley, pearl barley (polished), and roasted pearl barley. Barley groats are the whole grain, without the husk. This is the most valuable type of barley.
Minimally processed grain products are a particularly valuable part of our diet, especially due to their high fiber content. Barley groats are one such product. They provide our body with valuable protein. Their protein content can reach 16%. Compared to wheat and corn products, barley protein is much more valuable. Barley groats are also a source of carbohydrates and many vitamins (especially B vitamins). Meals prepared with them will keep you full longer and give you energy for the whole day.
Scientific research shows that the high fiber content of barley groats (especially beta-glucans) helps maintain healthy blood cholesterol levels. Moreover, barley products can also be an important part of the diet of people with diabetes. According to researchers, barley helps reduce the rise in blood sugar that most often occurs after a meal. Scientists also point out that barley products are particularly valuable in preventing common diseases such as overweight, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and colon cancer.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
To preserve the valuable vitamins and minerals contained in oatmeal, it should not be boiled in large quantities of water. Maintain the correct proportions to allow the porridge to absorb all the water during cooking. First, it is worth rinsing the groats in a colander under running water. Then boil 3 glasses of water for 1 glass of oatmeal. Add a little salt and a teaspoon of oil. Pour the groats over the boiling water and cook, covered, over low heat for about 20 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. When the groats are ready, turn off the heat and leave it covered for a few minutes.
In Polish cuisine, pearl barley is primarily associated with barley soup. However, it can be used in many other ways. It's an excellent, healthy substitute for potatoes and pasta.
