Eat wheat: fluffy pancakes, crusty French bread, soft tortillas. Eat barley: hearty stews, mushroom risotto, or a cold grain salad that doesn’t turn to mush.
Barley has more fiber than wheat. Way more. That’s why it keeps you full—and why your digestive system might start singing opera after a big bowl.
Wheat can be bleached, enriched, and turned into white flour—basically the plastic surgery of the grain world. Barley is too honest for that. It stays beige and tough.
