What is barley?
The way most people get barley is through beer. Malt is germinated (sprouted) barley that has been gently dried to stop the growth of germinating roots, explains Danielle Gaffen, registered dietitian nutritionist and nutrition consultant, San Diego, California. This leaves intact the enzymes that convert starches to sugars such as maltose.
A staple in some alcoholic beverages, such as whisky and beer, malt is also used in some food products, too. You may be surprised to learn just how many processed food products use malt.

Spring is on the horizon. Most cattle producers are ready to put the cold and snow behind them and see the pastures greening up. But University of Kentucky beef specialist Katie VanValin urges producers not to let the green grass fool them.
“The growth we see in our pastures in the early spring can be deceiving,” she said. “From a nutrient standpoint, it often just won’t cut it. There’s just not yet enough forage available, and what is available has a high moisture content. When we turn the cows out too early, they can exert more energy searching for the next bite, and most of that mouthful ends up being water.”
