Barley was probably grown before other cereals and remained an important human food crop for many millenia. In recent times barley has been mainly used as animal feed or has been processed into beer malt, while only a minor amount of barley has been used in the food production. The chemical composition of the barley grain points out to its alimentary and physiological quality, which provide a possibility for a wider range of uses for barley in the production of foods for human consumption. The positive effect of certain barley components on human health, such as soluble plant fibres beta-glucans, makes barley a crop beneficial for health and provides its place in the functional food production. Besides beta-glucans there are numerous advantages of naked barley over hulled barley in human nutrition.
