Barley

If you’ve ever wondered what to make with barley, you’re in the right place. Barley is a hearty, nutty-flavored whole grain that’s been fueling people for centuries. While not gluten-free, it is packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a wholesome addition to meals, whether you’re cooking for comfort or nutrition.

I’m a big fan of using barley to bulk up soups – it adds body and texture and provides a satisfying chew that gives any bowl a complete meal feel.

But don’t stop there! There’s so much more to make with barley, including salads, hearty grain bowls, and even risotto-style dishes where barley steps in for rice. If you’ve got a bag of barley in your pantry, the endless possibilities are waiting!
