Raw barley

Raw barley is barley grain that has not undergone any cooking or processing beyond harvesting. It is in its natural state, with a tough outer hull that needs to be removed before use. Raw barley is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a nutritious option for adding to foods like soups, stews, or salads. In its raw form, it requires cooking to soften and enhance digestibility. Because of its high fiber content, raw barley can promote digestive health and provide sustained energy. It is commonly used in health foods and can be sprouted or processed further for different culinary applications.
