Along with being a strong blood purifier, its anti inflammatory properties makes it an ideal food to help fight rosacea symptoms. Trying to include more barley into your diet, not only is good for your general health, but may also be step closer to a clearer skin. Its great for the immune system, helps detoxifies the body, giving you an increased energy boost. What better way to add extra texture and flavour to your soups, stews and casseroles than to throw in a handful or two of whole grain barley. I try to include barley in almost all my stews and soups either in the crock pot or on the stove.
Probably one of the first cultivated cereals, barley is grown in almost all the temperate regions of Europe and North America. It is a nutritious and easily digested cereal, providing a good source of fibre, iron, calcium and protein. It is known to strengthen the stomach and intestines and to soothe inflamed membranes, and is believed to help reduce tumours and oedema. It can be used in the alleviation of painful urination and as a mild laxative. Sprouted barley is even more nutritious and can help indigestion and abdominal bloating. Barley is easy to sprout at home and be bought from the internet or your local nursery. Make sure you buy the hulless seeds for sprouting. Sprout them as you would for any other sprouts such as alfalfa and wheatgrass etc
