Yes. Barley is a whole ancient grain cultivated for over 10000 years. Eating more whole grains and vegetables is the number one recommendation in the scientific community to live a longer and healthier life. Barley will not only make you strong and fit, but thanks to its dietary fiber content, it will help reduce inflammation in your body. Although fiber-rich, barley is not free from gluten, so it's not suitable for people with gluten intolerance.
