Barley Beta Glucan Meal Base
Barley beta glucan meal base adds soluble fiber in soups and pilafs— a chewy whole-grain rotation beyond oats and brown rice for satiety and heart-friendly meals.
Barley beta glucan meal base uses pearled or hulled barley for soluble fiber that supports cholesterol and satiety—chewy texture works in soups, pilafs, and grain salads as a rice rotation. Cook in broth for flavor; expect longer simmer than white rice.
Introduce gradually if fiber intake was low.
Common questions
-
Is pearled barley still a whole grain?
Pearled barley loses some bran but retains beta glucan fiber—still nutritious, slightly less fiber than hulled. Choose hulled when chew time is acceptable.
