Most well known as a source of malt in the fermenting process for beer, barley was one of the world's first cultivated grains and is also a valuable feedstock and ingredient in commercially produced bread, cereal and soup products. With a high fibre content and cholesterol lowering qualities, barley is also recognised for its intestinal health benefits, making it highly desirable for human consumption. Grown across Australia, in a variety of soil and climatic environments, barley has benefitted from research into the prevention of pest and disease, making it one of the most resilient crops produced for export. With excellent working relationships with Australian barley growers, and a stringent bulk handling, storage and transport standards for export, the Nzac Foods team offer exceptional logistical and delivery systems at competitive prices.

Barley contains many nutritional properties such as phosphorus, calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium as well as high fiber, mineral salt and vitamin content. Characterized by its low quantity of calories, barley is one of the cereals with the lowest glycemic index. It is very digestible with tonic and diuretic properties, often used as a substitute for coffee.
