What it is

Roasted barley is made from barley grains that have been heated. This process gives the barley a nutty, roasted flavor and aroma, similar to coffee. It is often used as a caffeine-free coffee substitute or as an ingredient in beverages and baked goods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add roasted barley for its distinct flavor and color, often used to create a coffee-like taste in beverages without caffeine. It can also be used in baked goods for added flavor and texture. It is commonly found in herbal teas, coffee substitutes, and grain-based beverages.

Health notes

Roasted barley is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated roasted barley and did not establish a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI). Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming roasted barley at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Barley is a grain and contains gluten. It is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA, but individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid it.
