Enjoy the health benefits and flavour of Hamilton's Barley Flour

The Canadian Food Guide to Healthy Eating recommends five to twelve servings of grain foods each day.  Health professionals also encourage enjoyment of a variety of foods within the grain group.  Including barley is a tasty way to generate this variety; it is a good source of dietary fibre, protein and complex carbohydrates.  Today's cooks incorporate various forms of barley in vegetarian dishes, salads, cookies, breads, biscuits, cakes, and muffins.


Please Note:  
Barley, like wheat, rye and oats, contains gluten
and is not suitable for anyone with celiac disease
who requires a gluten-free diet.
