Barley was one of the first crops cultivated by man, and has been
used as a food since Biblical times. Today, barley is still
considered an excellent source of soluble fiber. With higher
beta-glucan content than oats, barley can be effective in lowering
serum cholesterol levels. Barley also contains fiber, protein,
carbohydrates and B vitamins. It's low in fat and has no
cholesterol.
Sorghum and Millets
Sorghum and millets have been important staples in the semi-arid
tropics of Asia and Africa for centuries. These crops are still the
principal sources of energy, protein, vitamins and minerals for
millions of the poorest people in these regions.
Sorghum and millets are grown in harsh environments where other
crops grow or yield poorly. They are grown with limited water
resources and usually without application of any fertilizers or
other inputs by a multitude of small-holder farmers in many
countries. Therefore, and because they are mostly consumed by
disadvantaged groups, they are often referred to as "coarse grain"
or "poor people's crops". They are not usually traded in the
international markets or even in local markets in many countries.
The farmers seldom, therefore, have an assured market in the event
of surplus production.
It appears that sorghum moved into eastern Africa from Ethiopia
around 200 AD or earlier. It was adopted and carried to the
savannah countries of eastern and southern Africa by the Bantu
people, who used the grain mainly to make beer.
Corn/Maize
