Instant barley flakes are made of sliced barley grains subjected to a special hydrothermal treatment and flaking. Thanks to this process, the time of their preparation for consumption is significantly reduced. The properties of small, crushed barley grains were already used in ancient medicine to heal the stomach, in the form of gruels, which were to alleviate persistent ailments. Today, they can also be used for stomach ailments, indigestion or constipation. Barley flakes are a good source of protein, minerals (potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron) and vitamins. They contain niacin, which has a great influence on the appearance and condition of our skin, and B vitamins take care of the condition of our hair and nails. The dietary fiber contained in the flakes helps to lower blood cholesterol levels.
Barley flakes are a great alternative to other flakes for a tasty and nutritious breakfast with milk, yoghurt or fruit. They can also be used to prepare gruels, muesli and cookies.
