Barley Flakes
Which Can Helps Reduce Cholesterol & Diabetes
Substitute your usual grain with barley flakes as they add a delicious, fibre-rich nutrition to your everyday food. Boil it for a warm breakfast cereal, toast in granola, ground as flour in biscuits and scones, or mix the flakes into a cookie or bread dough; this ancient grain with a mild, slightly nutty taste and chewy texture has the best formulation.
This grain is exceptionally high in fibre and low in starch. This makes it one of the lowest glycemic index (GI) grains you can get. Its health benefits range from balanced blood sugar levels to protecting against cardiovascular disease and cancer. Furthermore, barely flakes also help with weight management.
