When you think of the words ‘baby cereal’, then rice – or possibly oatmeal – tend to be the types of cereal that pop into your mind.
But there’s ANOTHER cereal we’d like to encourage you to consider including in your baby’s diet – one that’s super-nutritious, versatile and incredibly easy to incorporate into your recipes. And that’s barley!
Until recently, barley was considered somewhat unfashionable, but it’s definitely making a comeback as people begin to learn more about whole grains and their many benefits.
As a food for babies, it’s quite wonderful – rich in vitamins and minerals and rarely responsible for allergic reactions. What’s more, it can be used to make breakfast, lunch, dinner or even dessert… and we’d like to show you how!
We have a brand new page all about cooking barley for your baby, with tips for choosing the most nutritious form of this great grain and, of course, lots of truly tasty recipes!
