Nutritional Benefits of Barley
Barley is packed with vitamins and minerals. It is a rich source of fiber, selenium, and manganese. Additionally, it contains a notable amount of vitamin B1, magnesium, phosphorus, chromium, and copper.
Because of the high fiber content in barley, this helps lessen hunger. The beta-glucan in barley is a soluble fiber that promotes satiety and a feeling of fullness.Â
Beta-glucan also forms a gel-like material in the gut. This promotes the absorption of nutrients and a healthy digestive system.Â
Another benefit of beta-glucan is its ability to reduce the bad cholesterol in your body. This type of cholesterol binds to bile acids, which are then eliminated through the feces.
Lignans are also widely available in barley. This is a group of antioxidants that helps to lower your risk of heart disease and cancer.Â
The Secret to Delicious Barley CakesÂ
This cake is flexible and other optional ingredients would be tasty such as added cinnamon, raisins, or mini chocolate chips.
Freshly milling the flour makes these taste very fresh and better than any bread from the grocery store. Having your own mill such as the Nutrimill or the Mock Mill makes cooking less expensive and full of nutrition.
Barley grains can be purchased at specialty stores and even pearled barley can be milled in the Mock mill for this recipe.

Ezekiel 36:26-37 King James Version
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
33 Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.
37 Thus saith the Lord God; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
