7. Remineralizing Effect
Rich in magnesium, phosphorus, iron and zinc, barley contributes to the maintenance of bones and muscles, supports energy metabolism and can be useful in periods of tiredness or physical stress.
Contraindications
There are no particular contraindications to barley consumption, but it’s important to note that it’s not suitable for everyone, as it contains gluten, just like wheat, but also spelt and rye. Therefore, those with celiac disease shouldn’t consume it, as well as products containing it, including soluble barley and barley coffee, which doesn’t contain caffeine but is not gluten-free.
