BARLEY IDLI AND DOSA RECIPE / JAU IDLI RECIPE

Barley is primarily a cereal grain popularly known as jau in India. Barley, a grain like wheat, looks like wheat but a hulled grain with gluten but is not wheat.

Barley is also a rich source of B vitamins, including niacin, thiamin, and pyridoxine (vitamin B-6). It also contains beta-glucans, a type of fiber that scientists have linked to various health benefits.

Barley’s potassium, folate, iron, and vitamin B-6 content, together with its lack of cholesterol, all support cardiovascular functions. Niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, folate, iron, magnesium, and selenium all enhance the processes of cell formation, such as carrying oxygen through the blood, and the functioning of the immune system. Barley is a good source of all these nutrients.

The phosphorus, calcium, copper, magnesium, and zinc in barley all contribute to improved bone structure and strength.
