In foods, barley is used as a source of vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, and fatty oils. Barley contains the same cholesterol-fighting soluble fiber, beta-glucan, found in oat bran and dry beans. 
As barley cooks, the starch in it swells and absorbs water, making it soft and bulky. This makes it the perfect thickener for soups, stews, and traditional Scotch broth soup. Barley can be successfully substituted for rice in almost any recipe.
