Barley: –

Barley is one of the oldest cultivated cereal grains, dating back more than 10,000 years. Known for its remarkable adaptability, high nutritional value, and wide range of uses, barley remains a key crop in global agriculture. Scientifically classified as Hordeum vulgare, barley is grown extensively in India, Russia, Australia, Canada, and parts of Europe. In India, the primary barley-producing states are Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab.

At Godhani International, we source premium-grade barley directly from certified farmers and FPOs across India. We offer barley in whole grain, pearled, and processed forms depending on client requirements. Each batch is cleaned, graded, and packed under strict quality controls to ensure purity and export compliance. Whether used for food, brewing, or animal feed, our barley meets global quality and phytosanitary standards.

Nutritional Highlights:

Barley is a powerhouse of nutrition, containing:

• Rich dietary fiber, especially β-glucan (beta-glucan)

• Essential minerals: manganese, selenium, magnesium, phosphorus

• B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, niacin)

• Moderate protein content (approx. 11%)

• Low glycemic index, making it ideal for diabetic diets

• Antioxidants and phytochemicals that support heart and gut health

Key Benefits:

1. Digestive Health: High in soluble and insoluble fiber, barley supports gut flora, regulates bowel movements, and helps in managing constipation.

2. Heart Health: Beta-glucan fiber helps reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol, lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

3. Weight Management: The fiber content in barley promotes satiety, helping to control appetite and aid in weight loss.

4. Diabetes Management: Its low glycemic index ensures slow sugar absorption, keeping blood glucose levels stable.

5. Bone Strength: Barley contains phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium—essential minerals for strong bones and teeth.
