Barley and Beer for Breakfast
Barley is generally known to be a key ingredient in the making of beer, but it is in fact a cereal grain and one of the most nutritious cereal grains at that. Barley is used in many different foods including casseroles, breads, cakes, and soups. Barley is very low on the glycemic index so it provides a long-lasting source of energy and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Barley also contains very high quantities of eight essential amino acids.
Barley has been grown by human beings for thousands of years and is a staple in many areas of the world, especially the Middle East. In Scotland barley is commonly used to make beer meal and then made into bread and biscuits. Eastern Europeans use barley in many different soups and stews. The uses of barley are incredibly diverse; it’s even used as a substitute for coffee in many parts of the world. This article will explain the simplest way to cook barley for consumption by just boiling the barley on the stove. This method of cooking barley is used to make a porridge-like substance out of the barley and is best suited to pearl barley because it is de-hulled and is therefore much softer. However hulled barley is also fine it just needs to be cooked quite a bit longer.
To cook up some barley for breakfast or for a nutritious snack anytime of day, all you require is some pearl barley, some water, and a little bit of salt. About one and a half cups of pearl barley will require three cups of water and a teaspoon of salt. Pour the water and salt into a pot and bring the water to a boil. Throw in the pearl barley when the water begins to boil, put the cover on the pot, and take the heat down to the low setting.
Pearl barley will take about forty minutes to cook, if you opted for hulled barley instead the cooking time will be about ninety minutes. Many people add things to the barley when they cook it, such as rice, nuts, seeds, or any kind of dried fruit. Adding some nuts and seeds in particular will make the meal ever more nutritious, and adding some dried fruit will make it more palatable. Barley can also be made in a rice cooker, simply use two cups of water instead and cook the mixture through one rice cooking cycle.
The advantages of barley are many, especially as a low-fat, low-glycemic alternative. Be sure to cook the barley long enough. Experimenting with different additions will also keep this meal fresh and new.
