Barley is stated by historians to be the oldest of all cultivated grains. It seems to have been the principal bread plant among the ancient Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans. The Jews especially held the grain in high esteem, and sacred history usually uses it interchangeably with wheat, when speaking of the fruits of the Earth.Among the early Greeks and Romans, barley was almost the only food of the co

The University of Adelaide has applied for permission to trial genetically-modified wheat and barley at Glenthorne Farm in Adelaide’s southern suburbs.
It’s unusual that a trial of this kind should be carried out so close to heavily populated areas. I have called on the State Government to assure residents that there is no health risk [...]

HOLLYWOOD – Someone once said there are two kinds of people: “Those who are Irish and those who wish they were Irish.” While mom claimed I was the first, being an American for a few generations tossed me into the “mutt” category. If there truly is Irish in me, it’s in my big toe or my ring finger, which hardly makes me the Irish lass I had hoped.

This is the last day of Great Grains Week, so I thought I’d highlight a grain I love, although it’s pearl barley I’ve used more that the whole grain.

Barley is one of the oldest cultivated grains. Egyptians buried mummies with necklaces of barley, and centuries later Edward I of England standardized the inch as equal to “three barley seeds.” It is a highly-adaptable crop, growing north of the Arctic circle and as far south as Ethiopia.
Barley has a particularly tough hull, which is difficult to remove without losing some of the bran. Hulled barley, available at health food stores, retains more of the whole-grain nutrients but is very slow-cooking. New varieties of hull-less barley are starting to become available. Lightly pearled barley is not technicall

Soup is on the menu again, this time inspired by a package of oxtails I found at the local Asian market. My mother made oxtail soup with carrots and cabbage, there was something magical about its taste. I haven't cooked with them in a long time and felt I was due a nice dose of comfort food.
Instead of cabbage I figured I would replace it with chunks of kohlrabi, a root vegetable from the same

I found my new obsession!!! It's called Nathan Barley and it's a british tv series featuring the coolest guy on Earth. Julian Barratt, dah! Noel Fielding is showing his lovely lumps here and there, the sexiest man alive. It's not at all like The Mighty Boosh, actually it's quite the opposite. Basic line: every country has the hipster idiots they deserve. But I recognized some stereotypes. The question is: do you?Hilariously funny!
Barley belongs to the oldest cereal grains, cultivated by people. It’s reach in vitamin A, aneurin, calcium and phosphorus; barley lowers cholesterol level in blood. Indians advice to cook this soup for people suffering from gastrointestinal disturbance.

BARLEY: ANCIENT FOOD FOR FUTURE NUTRITIONAt least twenty-one hadiths recommend sattoo (powdered barley). Talbina is a meal made from satoo, formed by adding milk and honey to the dried barley powder. The Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) recommended talbina for the sick and grieving (Khan p.1). He is quoted as saying, "At-talbina gives rest to the heart of the patient and makes it active and relieves some of his sorrow and grief" (Bukhari 7:71#593). Saudi Arabia is the world's largest feed barley importer (Lee p.3). 1)As a food, barley's long list of benefits include: 18 amino acids of which eight are the essential amino acids that the human body can not produce, 2)sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium antioxidants, glucan, iron, copper, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, beta carotene, vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, folic acid and pantothenic acid. 3)It also contains amylase, dextrin, phospholipids, maltose, glucose, sulfur, niacin and protein (herbsrainbear.com p.1). 4)It improves stamina, s
The first half of Ken Loach’s The Wind that Shakes the Barley can easily be seen as a justification for terrorism and a condemnation of torture—the obvious reading for an American in a country now more or less obsessed by the topics.
If justifying terrorism seems a hard thing to do, The Wind that Shakes the Barley makes it look easy. From the first scene, the occupying British look roughly like bullying incompetents, and fighting back through “terrorism”—it’s really a matter of perspective—is the only recourse that the boys from County Cork seem to have.
And surely the torture Mr. Loach displays is far worse than anything this country has been known to do. Pulling out fingernails wish rusty pliers is likely far uglier than the results of extraordinary rendition, waterboarding, or psychological deprivation. But the brutality only serves to make the practice’s jarring pointlessness more clear.
Before we go too far considering the cultural
There is a definite chill in the air, so I am taking full ownership of the King of Soup title which was bestowed upon me by the Lovely Lisa . This recipe, given to me by my friend Margie, is so simple to throw together as it requires ingredients that are traditionally on hand. I had this soup for lunch today, along with bread which I baked. It was very rich, textural and warming, too! It doesn't freeze well, due to the inclusion of sour cream, which will cause the soup to separate. I like to use shiitake mushrooms, but it's good with any you have on hand.N.B. Sorry I've not posted frequently. I do appreciate your email, and I'm in the process of catching up. I haven't "jumped ship", I'm still around, and will visit soon!

Okay, so my cooking skills perhaps outshine my facility for making up names for recipes. All the good names have been taken, though - how could I hope to top, say, “Ouefs a la Neige,” or “Spanikopita?”
Anyway, I am having some sort of summer crud involving a sore throat and a stuffy nose, and so I convinced myself that some healthy food would help me get better faster. Never mind the fact that I had several zucchini, summer squash, and sweet onions on the edge of death from last week’s trip to the Farmer’s Market.
My original plan was to use up the instant barley in my cupboard and combine it with a vaguely Italian combination of the squashes, onions, garlic and some fresh Basil and Parmesan. I still plan to try this some day, but making it today would have meant dipping into the Parmesan I need to make Carbonara for dinner, so I changed continents and found a can of black beans and some cumin seeds. Here’s what I made, which was actually qui
If you haven't already woken up to the immense benefits of Green Barley Grass then below are a few facts which will help to inform you.
The FDA (Federal Drug Administration) acknowledges two whole foods: Green barley is whole food from the land for land animals and blue green algae is whole food from the water for animals in the water. Basically, whole foods are defined as a food that could keep you alive and well, even if you didn't eat anything else.
Green Barley is a powerhouse of nutrition and contains more vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants than the finest fruits and vegetables. It can help reduce allergy symptoms (Chem. Pharm Bullitin, 1999) with noticable results within 2 months. In addition, it helps to balance pH, strengthen the immune system (Japan Pharm. Sciences, 1981) with noticable results in these areas within 2 weeks.
Green Barley has been proven to balance blood glucose levels, reduce cholesterol aswell as helping to fight: high blood pressure, heart diseas

It wasn't until I was about done with this risotto that I noticed the "winter" part of the title. O well. It was 10 degrees cooler today - does that count?? :)
This is my first go with barley. Sure, I've had it in super-fiber cereals, and I've had it in restaurants (I think), but I've never actually made it myself. I really dig the meaty chewiness of the grain. I can see myself really getting
Homemade vegetable, beef and barley soupI like beef and barley soup with lots of vegetables, especially on a really cold day. Barley is something that I only used once or twice a year but because it was something I couldn't find here in La Ceiba, I was really craving it.On my last trip to SuperMega, I found a box of barley! It's amazing how such a simple thing can give you so much pleasure. I don't know if it has anything to do with CAFTA or not but I'm seeing lots of things we never had available here before. They even sell yellow corn meal now. Not yellow corn masa yet, but who knows, maybe some day.Yesterday wasn't exactly a cold day. ¡Al contrario! It was in the 90's with 89% humidity, but I made soup anyway. Just walking to the kitchen makes me break out in a sweat in this humidity so what difference does it make? I used onions, garlic, potatoes, and carrots. And because I didn't have any other fresh vegetables, I threw in a can each of green beans, corn, and mushrooms. Fo

Yes, I'm still on my soup kick. After coming down with what my doctor thought was whooping cough for a month, it was so comforting to have soup to eat. It helped my recovery and at one point I was making two or three batches at a time.
This recipe comes from Cholesterol Down: Ten Simple Steps to Lower Your Cholesterol in Four Weeks--Without Prescription Drugs by Janet Bond Brill, Ph.D., R.D., LDN.

I was eating soup at a restaurant the other day and realized what I thought was rice was barley, which was much more healthier and higher in fiber. I should use it more often. This recipe from Sunset magazine's January 2007 article on Soup Socials is a good start. It combines a classic split pea soup with one for beef and barley soup.

Split Pea, Beef, and Barley Soup Prep and Cook Time: 2 hours, 45 minutesYield: Makes about 8 qts.
Based on a recipe from Lainey Feingold, this soup combines the best qualities of two classic soups: the heartiness of split pea and the rich, nutty flavor of beef and barley. Ingredients:

In Korea, the major cola makers are everywhere. Coca Cola and Pepsi dominate the scene. On the weekend, I had the opportunity to try a new carbonated beverage. It's called McCol (I just edited the Wikipedia page as it had nothing) and it's a barley flavored cola! It tasted like Coke/Pepsi, but less sweeter and with a taste of barley as the finisher. It was actually pretty good. So good that I bought a can yesterday on the way to work. On the can, it says it's fortified with Vitamins A, B and C (I can't remember correctly, can someone verify?)--so it must be good for you! ;-)
A devastating thresher of a film by Ken Loach about the early days of the IRA in rural Ireland, 1920. Damien (Cillian Murphy) is a young doctor about to move to the teaching hospitals in London, leaving the provincial life behind him. However, having witnessed the pointless brutality of the British Black and Tans regiment, he is compelled to stay behind in Ireland and joins the Irish Republican Army to drive out the British and establish a democratic Irish republic. Damien leads a small but determined militia against the British, ambushing them to acquire weapons. When caught, the British soldiers are ruthless in their torture and punishment of the Irish rebels.Paul Laverty's screenplay skilfully covers a number of issues relating to the rebellion: hatred of the cruel treatment by the British, a worker's desire for socialism, the impact of brother fighting against brother, the amateurish training of the Irish rebels, the in-fighting and disagreements about what they are fighting for
