Barley Seeds - Nutrient-Rich, High Germination & Versatile Use

Overview

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a versatile cereal crop, widely cultivated for food, brewing, and medicinal purposes. This hardy annual grass produces upright stems, flat leaves, and dense spikelets. Barley can be harvested for malt production, fresh barley grass, or grain. Its mature grains can also be used to make flour, or processed into traditional Chinese medicine known as 'mài yá', which promotes digestion, invigorates the spleen, and alleviates bloating.
