Barley has dozens of uses, from making beer to making bread. However, there’s more to this plant than just the grain — it’s also a nutritious vegetable. Barley grass, sometimes called barley greens, comes from young barley plants that haven’t started making seeds. During this stage of the plant’s life, it’s full of nutrients that help it grow larger leaves and seeds. You can take advantage of those barley grass benefits by eating the grass while it’s young.
