About Barley flour or meal
Barley flour or meal ground from whole barley is notable for a fiber level that exceeds most grain flours, with a meaningful portion being beta-glucan, the soluble fiber associated with cholesterol management. Protein is moderate. The flavor is mild and slightly sweet with a faint nutty quality. Because barley contains only a small amount of gluten compared to wheat, breads made entirely with barley flour are dense and flat. It is most commonly blended with wheat flour, used in flatbreads, or stirred into porridge. A good choice for bakers who want to add nutritional complexity without dramatic flavor changes.
