Gerste (Barley)

Gerste, or barley, is a versatile cereal grain cultivated worldwide. It’s traditionally used in making malt for brewing beer, as well as in soups, stews, and health foods due to its rich fiber and nutrient content. Barley’s tough husk protects its nutritious inner grain, which contains carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. It thrives in varied climates and soil types, making it a valuable crop for both agriculture and food industries. Its adaptability and nutritional benefits have sustained its role as an important staple in human diets and beverage production.
