Of the main cereal crops (wheat<\/a>, barley<\/strong>,oats<\/a> and rye<\/a>), barley is probably the least commonly used in day-to-day food. It is often used to make beer<\/a> and whisky.<\/p>\n As a food<\/a>, barley is most often used in soups and stews. In Asia, is boiled to make barley water, a popular drink which is ideal for hot weather.<\/p>\n Barley can grow in cold conditions, which is why it is a staple crop in Tibet (they also grow wheat there, so if you are allergic<\/a> to wheat, Tibet is not actually a perfect destination for you).<\/p>\n Barley is a flavorful, tasty, chewy grain. It can be cooked like rice and served on the side with meat and vegetable dishes, much like rice<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Barley contains gluten<\/a> and must be avoided if you are celiac<\/a> or allergic<\/a> to barley.<\/p>\n If you are allergic to wheat<\/a>, you may still be able to eat barley (I do).<\/p>\n If you have just discovered<\/em> that you are allergic to wheat<\/strong>, it is best to eliminate barley from your diet for several months, then re-introduce it to see if it causes you trouble or not.<\/p>\n Barley is a good source of fiber, selenium, phosphorus, copper and manganese.<\/p>\n Barley<\/strong> is a grass.
