EVERY INGREDIENT HAS ITS SECRET: barley and rice

In the Mediterranean culture, wheat is the king, unlike the Anglo-Saxon cultures where cereals such as rye or oats, are used in daily nutrition. The time has come to meet the "cousins" of wheat because their nutritional properties make them carriers of health.

The balancing agent Barley

Molto digeribile, con proprietà antinfiammatorie, l’orzo veniva considerato dagli antichi Greci un “cibo per filosofi” perché a loro parere supportava bene le attività del pensiero. Ancora oggi, l’orzo è considerato un alimento importante per chi deve mantenere attive memoria, concentrazione e per il sistema nervoso, grazie alla presenza di fosforo. Ricco di magnesio, calcio ed altri minerali, l’orzo ha anche proprietà rinfrescanti, toniche e diuretiche.
