Barley is by nature a workhorse, a grain with a long history of survival. Hardier than wheat or rye, barley has adapted over the millennia—evidence of cultivated barley dates back almost ten thousand years—and adjusted to the cultures and farming techniques of changing civilizations. It has been used as a cultivated crop, as medicine, as a form of measurement, even as currency. In modern times it’s primarily used as animal feed, as malt for beer and whiskeymaking, and as a sweetener.
