Barley flakes are high in fibre. Including high fibre foods like Barley Flakes in our diet regularly could help us to reach the recommended daily intake of 30g fibre. Barley Flakes are also a source of other key trace minerals including magnesium, iron and zinc. So this mild and versatile breakfast grain to could help support us in reaching our daily recommended intake of these key minerals. These minerals have a range of functions in the body.
Magnesium contributes to a reduction in tiredness and fatigue, and it also contributes to normal muscle and normal functioning of the nervous system. Iron contributes to the normal formation of healthy red blood and haemoglobin and contributes to reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Amongst other roles in the body, zinc contributes to the normal fertility and reproduction and to normal cognitive function too.

Plant Points are a handy way to make sure you’re eating a nutrient-packed diet.
Aim for at least 30 plant points a week to support your overall wellbeing. Eating a wide range of plant point foods can help you achieve more diverse gut microbiomes – playing a fundamental role in health and disease. You can get Plant Points from:
- Whole foods = 1 Plant Point
- Powdered foods = ½ a Plant Point
- Herbs & spices = ¼ of a Plant Point
We’re proud to be the first high street retailer to include Plant Points on our food labels.

Best for museli
These are a great addition to home-made muesli, and add more body to the oats.

Cook barley flakes, just like you would oats with milk or water and pinch of salt to make a warming alternative to traditional porridge. Or try baking them into a nutty granola or, mixing them with other grains, fruit, nuts and seeds to make your own muesli. You can even fold them in to homemade bread to boost fibre and add a nutty texture. How ever you decide to use them, they are bound to provide a wholesome and nourishing breakfast.
Ways to use
Ways to use
