Barley Flakes are flattened grains made from barley (Hordeum vulgare), designed for quick and easy cooking. They are rich in dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan, protein, vitamins, and minerals, supporting heart health, digestion, and blood sugar management. Barley flakes are commonly used to make porridge, breakfast cereals, upma, and baked goods, offering a nutritious and wholesome alternative to oats or rice.
