Barley

Health and fertility benefits of Swiss Chard Soup

Barley is about the best grain a woman with PCOS can eat. It is low in calories and has the lowest GI of all grains. Low-GI grains such as barley take much longer to digest and create a slow, steady rise in blood glucose and insulin levels. As mentioned before on Fertility Chef, low-GI foods reduce cravings. If possible, try and find hulled barley as it is the most nutrient dense of all types of barley.

Ingredients

5 medium carrots
5 stalks medium celery
1 lb swiss chard
1 large onion
28 oz tomatoes
15 oz navy beans
1/2 cup barley

Instructions

1. Chop or dice carrots, celery and onion.

2. Add all ingredients into large pan with two tomato cans of water.

3. Cook until barley is tender.

4. Note: if you like add some garlic as well.
