Why Should I Get Barley Flakes ?
This whole process stabilizes the grain, which means that the enzymes are neutralized to avoid oxidation and rancidity. The heating converts the starches to more simple sugars, which makes them more easily digested, but leaves the barley's vitamin and mineral content intact, so they stay healthy for you.
Add raisins, cranberries, or other dried fruits to the flakes as they are being cooked. The fruits will plump and help to sweeten the cereal. You can mix with dried fruits, nuts, and seeds for homemade granolas, mueslis, or trail mixes.
