They can be eaten in a few ways -

As rolled grains (like 'oat fashioned' oats/rolled oats) - Rolled barley is 55 to 65 ish. Rolled rye, I would imagine, would also be the same.
I also know you can get barley bran (like oatbran) but I have never seen rye bran around....

i tried pearled barley for the first time the other night with some chicken. any ways to make it taste better? i was thinking of mixing it with broccoli.
would low sodium chicken broth be ok? it has like 440 mg of sodium per cup though.

Pearled or hulled barley is an excellent low GI alternative to rice, rolled oats, sweet potato or other carb sources. It does have a lower GI than all these things too - if you are concerned with that. Originally Posted by njc
Rolled barley is good too - although I prefer rolled oats over rolled barley. And barley bran is an alternative to oatbran or the like - but once again, I prefer oatbran.
I would recommend you add in into your diet - but you don't have to completely replace the oats you use with this.
