1, rich in β-glucan: barley is the world's wheat crops in the highest β-glucan crops, according to the test barley β-glucan average content of 6.57%, the best varieties of barley 25 can be 8.6%, 50 times the average content of wheat. β-glucan by reducing the intestinal mucosa contact with carcinogens and indirectly inhibit the carcinogenic dimensions of biological role in the prevention of colon cancer; through the lowering of lipids and cholesterol synthesis to prevent cardiovascular disease: by controlling blood sugar to prevent diabetes. It also prevents cardiovascular diseases by lowering the synthesis of blood lipids and cholesterol, and prevents diabetes by controlling blood sugar. It has the effect of improving the body's defense ability and regulating physiological rhythms. Another according to U.S. scientific research shows that, in addition to β-glucan barley, barley also contains a specialized cholesterol inhibiting factor, the content of about 100-150 mg per kilogram.
2, rich in dietary fiber: barley total efficacy of fiber content of 16%, of which 9.68% insoluble efficacy of fiber, soluble efficacy of fiber 6.37%, the former is 8 times that of wheat, the latter is 15 times that of wheat. Dietary fiber has intestinal laxative, remove toxins in the body of good effect, is the human digestive system scavenger.
3, rich in branched-chain starch: barley starch composition is unique, generally containing 74-78% of the branched-chain starch, in recent years, the Tibet Autonomous Region Academy of Agricultural and Animal Husbandry cultivated new varieties of barley 25 branched-chain starch to reach or close to 100%. Branched-chain starch contains a lot of gel mucus, weakly alkaline when heated, and has an inhibitory effect on gastric hyperacidity. It can play the role of relief and barrier protection for the lesions.
4, rare nutrients: every 100g barley flour contains thiamin (vitamin B1) 0.32mg, riboflavin (vitamin B2) 0.21mg, 3.6mg of niacin; vitamin E0.25mg. These substances have a positive effect on the promotion of human health and development of the relationship.
5, rich in trace elements: contains a variety of beneficial to human health inorganic elements calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper, zinc and trace elements selenium and other mineral elements. Selenium is the United Nations Health Organization to determine the human body essential trace elements, and the organization is currently the only identified anti-cancer elements.
6, barley is a kind of barley, also known as naked barley, wheat, barley flour is ground from barley flour. Edible, for the Tibetan staple food.
