Barley flour, also known as "jau ka atta", is made from grinding whole barley grains, known as "jau" in India.
Barley flour is a popular substitute for wheat flour because it contains some gluten and is an excellent option for bakers who want to use alternative flours.
Barley is known to have originated in Ethiopia and Southeast Asia. It is a versatile cereal grain that has been used for hundreds of years as food for humans and animals, to make alcoholic beverages, and for medicinal purpose in the form of barley water. The grains of barley resemble wheat berries, except slightly lighter in colour.
The cultivation of this grain has spread throughout the world. It is the fourth largest grain crop globally after wheat, rice, and maize. It grows on every continent on which crops are grown because it adapts well to diverse environmental conditions.
Barley flour is a nutritious and healthier alternative to all-purpose flour for baking goods. It is significantly lower in gluten than wheat; therefore, it should be added accordingly in baking recipes.
