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.
