What it is

Cracked barley is whole barley grain that has been broken into smaller pieces. Barley is a cereal grain grown worldwide, and cracked barley is produced by milling or crushing the whole kernels.

Why it's used

Cracked barley is used as a whole grain ingredient in baked goods like breads and buns, often to add texture and a nutty flavor. It can also be found in prepared foods such as sandwiches and pizza crusts.

Health notes

Cracked barley is a whole grain and a source of dietary fiber. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers barley a whole grain. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated barley and its components. Typical consumption of barley as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
