Our Organic Whole Barley is grown in the high mountain valleys of the Rocky Mountains. Because our crops grow in these challenging growing conditions at a high altitude, it is packed with nutrition. A little-known fact is that all barley is non-GMO. Because all barley is traditionally bred, commercial barley has never been genetically modified as other popular crops have. So yes, our barley is totally non-GMO...and so is everyone elses :). Hulled barley is an awesome addition to any recipe in your kitchen. Replace your oatmeal with it for your breakfast, add it to soups or salads, or even as a substitute for rice or risottos in some dishes, the list goes on and on. Get creative with it, barley is sure to be your new favorite ingredient in your home!
