Barley

---

When consumed as a whole grain, barley is a particularly rich source of fiber, molybdenum, manganese and selenium.

It also contains good amounts of copper, vitamin B1, chromium, phosphorus, magnesium and niacin 

Hulled barley, considered a whole grain, has had just the indigestible outer husk removed.

It's darker in color and has a little bit of a sheen. 

Pearled barley, also called pearl barley, is not a whole grain and isn't as nutritious. It has lost its outer husk and its bran layer, and it has been polished.
