Barley Flakes
Barley flakes are made by steaming and flattening whole barley grains, similar to how rolled oats are processed. The result is a versatile, nutritious ingredient with a mild, slightly nutty flavour and a chewy texture. Barley flakes are rich in fibre, particularly soluble fibre, which can help with digestion and provide a steady release of energy. They are also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Barley flakes can be used in a variety of ways: they make a hearty addition to breakfast cereals, granola, or porridge when cooked with milk or water. They can also be used in baking, added to muffins, cookies, and breads to increase fibre content and texture. Additionally, barley flakes can be sprinkled on top of salads or incorporated into soups and stews for extra bulk and nutrition.

Barley
The grain is covered by an outer seed coat that covers the bran layer, a large starchy endosperm, and an oil-containing germ. The hull and bran are removed by a process called pearling. Once pearled it can be further processed to flour, semolina or flakes.
Barley flakes are ideal ingredients for muesli – or even an excellent replacement for oat flakes – they are sweeter with a lower fat content. Try making 'granola' - lightly toast with a few raisins, a drizzle of honey, sunflower or pumpkin seeds and perhaps some nuts.
