The difference between barley and wheat

Judging from the awns, the two ends of barley are pointed and slender. The awns of barley are very long, about the same length as ears of wheat; while the ends of wheat are rounder, shorter, and rounder. The awns of wheat are relatively short. The main uses of barley are to make feed and produce malt to make beer. If it is roasted, it is barley tea. If ground into flour, the noodles will be sticky and have a poor taste, so they are not suitable for making food.
