Barley like wheat is a grass, which is rich in carbohydrates and protein. Barley traditionally requires less rainfall to grow than wheat as result of which it can be grown in more areas.

Countries of the European Union and Russia account for more than half of the world’s barley production. In general the barley crop is concentrated in the northern hemisphere.

Barley is used in soups, porridge, and in making breads. Barley though less popular as an animal feed than Sorghum or maize is an important source of protein for cattle. Barley is also used in the production of malt, which in turn is used in the manufacture of beer and whiskey.
