Barley Rice

Barley is a very healthy grain. It’s rich in vitamins, minerals and other beneficial plant compounds. Barley contains soluble fiber, which reduces hunger and enhances feelings of fullness. It may even promote weight loss. Barley’s high fiber content helps food move through your gut and promotes a good balance of gut bacteria, both of which play important roles in digestion.
The type of insoluble fiber found in barley may prevent the formation of gallstones, helping your gallbladder function normally and reducing your risk of surgery.
The type of insoluble fiber found in barley appears to reduce cholesterol levels by preventing its formation and increasing its excretion through the feces.
Regularly adding barley to your diet may reduce risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure and “bad” LDL cholesterol.
