Description
Azure Farm Barley Hulled Organic – 33 ozs.
Barley, Hulled, Organic
Barley is considered an excellent source of soluble fiber. With a higher
beta-glucan content than oats, barley can be effective in lowering serum
cholesterol levels. Barley also contains fiber, protein, carbohydrates
and B vitamins. It’s low in fat and has no cholesterol. Although pearled
barley is commonly used in soups, barley can be milled into various fractions,
producing different cuts, pearls, flours, grits and flakes.
Because of its neutral flavor, it’s easy to blend barley’s nutrition and
texture into a variety of foods: soups, sausages, crackers, casseroles,
hot and cold ready-to-eat cereals, snacks, breads, cookies, bagels, side
dishes, main dishes and granola.
Only the outer husk of the barley is removed, not the bran portion of the
kernel. The grains are brown and require 1-2 hours cooking time. Hulled
barley has a distinct flavor and enhances the nutritional value and taste
of soups and stews.

Azure Farm is located in the foothills east of Mt. Hood with a fantastic
view of the Cascades and farm land in the valleys below. This is wheat
growing country where dry-land farming produces an abundance of soft white
wheat and other grains. But what makes our farm different from most other
wheat farms is our growing practices. We’ve been growing organically for
over 25 years, and are attempting to go beyond basic “organic” (which only
ensures which harmful things have not been used). We try to keep up with
organic soil amendments that will actually improve our soil, and consequently
improve the food itself.
Any items with the Azure Farm label which are not grown on Azure Farm,
are from farms which we know have been growing organically for many years,
doing whatever they can to ensure healthy soil, so the food on your table
is also healthy.
Why go organic? Organic foods are grown without synthetic fertilizers,
pesticides, or herbicides. Organic foods are not genetically modified.
Organic foods are grown in soil that is nurtured, not treated… which
means top soil, groundwater, rivers, lakes, streams, watersheds, fish &
wildlife, and people are not compromised. Healthy food grows in healthy
soil. You can often taste the organic difference!
