TIBETAN BLUE BARLEY

$4.20
In Stock


(Hordeum vulgare)  Heirloom Tibetan barley grown on the Himalayan plateau for over 3500 years.  It is considered a superfood due to high levels of fiber (particularly beta-glucan), protein, and iron. The pigment in the grain indicates high antioxidant content.  When processing, the hulls fall off easily making it perfect for home gardeners who want to produce their own grain. 

In Tibet, the grain is used for bread, porridge, animal fodder, and fermentation.
