Comments on: Barley, the forgotten grain http://thesurvivalmom.com/2010/02/27/barley-the-forgotten-grain/ Survival is a Mom's Job!™ Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:03:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: LizLong http://thesurvivalmom.com/2010/02/27/barley-the-forgotten-grain/comment-page-1/#comment-9032 LizLong Mon, 19 Apr 2010 14:51:57 +0000 http://thesurvivalmom.com/?p=3086#comment-9032 All of this is from what I've been able to find online. In the past when it has erupted, it has effected the UK as well due to it's proximity. It is spring, when baby sheep and cattle are born, and the little ones are more susceptible to the effects of flourine gases. The ones on Iceland would certainly be affected, and potentially the ones in the UK as well, depending on duration. Volcano E produces flourine gas. (It's not good for people or horses either.) Also, the eruption is apparently diminishing a bit right now, but it has managed to erupt for months to over a year at a time before, and this isn't its first eruption this year. So even if flights can resume soon, that doesn't really mean it's over just yet. And it's usually a warning that its big sister nearby will blow soon. And a little factoid that none of our MSM seems interested in: the ash cloud will probably reach CANADA by tomorrow, possibly as far as Boston and NYC by later in the day. The London Times mentioned it, but the BBC has a visual. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8629127.stm" target="_blank">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8629127.stm</a> I know it could turn out to not be a major thing long-term, it's just.... Well, it COULD be a game changer! All of this is from what I've been able to find online. In the past when it has erupted, it has effected the UK as well due to it's proximity.

I know it could turn out to not be a major thing long-term, it's just…. Well, it COULD be a game changer!

All that ash will certainly affect the climate. It's just a matter of where it will cause the most change. It doesn't seem like that volcano is anywhere near being finished with its' eruption.

NOW. Like, change your browser window and buy time. (HUGE ditto on dehydrated beef, and any sheep products you might want.) While Pravda is clearly a propaganda machine, that doesn't mean it's all wrong. They often bring up points I don't see elsewhere, or not until later. And I have done fact-checking intermittently on it with other online sources and not found any evidence that it is not to be trusted, at least not any more than any of our major news outlets are. Maybe it'll all clear up in a few days and nothing will come of it. But still.... <a href="http://english.pravda.ru/world/europe/17-04-2010/113070-iceland_volcano-0" target="_blank">http://english.pravda.ru/world/europe/17-04-2010/...</a> Whatever it is you're stocking, it might be time to get it in.

It's great grind to lighten ww bread, pilafs are wonderful, it's a great addition to soups and gives a meaty tooth feel. The only negative is it takes much longer to cook than rice. So plan accordingly. We love barley. It's great grind to lighten ww bread, pilafs are wonderful, it's a great addition to soups and gives a meaty tooth feel.

The only thing is that whole wheat can't be used in all baking and quinoa has to be parboiled before use. If barley could be de-germed or stored long-term, I would definitely put it into our food storage for the benefits in your article. We store hard red winter wheat and quinoa for the same reasons.

We use it in soups all the time, plus it's good as a side dish when it's cooked in broth. I've also used it as a stretcher in meatloaf. I have quite a few pounds put up in my food stores as it's such an easy versatile grain. I love barley! We use it in soups all the time, plus it's good as a side dish when it's cooked in broth.
