Barley

Health and fertility benefits of Vegetable Beef & Barley Soup Recipe

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

Reserved leftovers from Carmelized Onion Chuck Roast
3 cups beef broth
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1/4 cup quick-cooking barley
1 teaspoon ground mustard

Instructions

In a large saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until barley is tender.
