Barley
Barley is an excellent substitution for rice. It’s a whole grain and the fiber inside can lower cholesterol levels, as well as lower blood sugar levels. The trick with barley is knowing the difference between hulled or whole grain barley and pearl barley.
Whole grain barley is the healthiest and while pearl barley isn’t bad for you, most of the heart-healthy fiber has been removed. Barley goes great in soups and stews as well!
