I thought I would mention this because it is the most nutritious and convenient way of consuming barley;
I use barley as my main grain throughout the day, in different meals. I cook a load, and then store it in the fridge, for up to 5 days at a time.
The most important part is my method of cooking; I let them (almost) tenderize, then I reduce the liquid until it congeals around the barley, and it goes roughly solid.
This way, you are not pouring away the goodness of the barley water, and you keep it each time you eat the barley! You can do this with other grains, too. Just a way of keeping all the nutrients; not leaching them away!
A simple tip, but one that has helped me enormously.
All the best,
Joe
