Organic whole grain barley has a long history and while we know it more in the pot or pearl form from a cooking perspective, Fieldstone Organics whole
grain barley means the bran is intact which offers high fiber in addition to the numerous vitamins and minerals found in barley.
As a whole grain product, where the bran and most of the germ is intact, it is an excellent source of essential nutrients, including dietary fiber, vitamins (B-vitamins like niacin, thiamin, and vitamin B6), minerals (iron, magnesium, phosphorus), and antioxidants (such as lignans and phytic acid). Because the bran contains a high concentration of nutrients and fiber, consuming whole grain barley provides numerous health benefits compared to barley where the bran and germ have been removed.

Fieldstone Organics
I'm always amazed and inspired by agricultural businesses that started with a few farmers wanting to do something great, and Fieldstone Organics is one of those stories.
It started when a small group of organic Okanagan grain growers wanted to create more crop diversity by introducing healthy, under-marketed ancient grains like spelt into their repertoire, but needed a way to process them. Ancient grains require a different harvesting and cleaning process than modern wheat.
This is how Fieldstone Organics was born. They created a facility that can clean and package these unique crops, and now they buy and clean over 25 different crops ranging from wheat and ancient grains to seeds and legumes. They source only from certified organic farms in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan because they want their shipping footprint to be as small as possible. Their growers share the values of their customers: clean, sustainable food. Pretty amazing!
