English Name: Barley Grass

Botanical name: Hordeum vulgare

Urdu Name: جو

Uses: For medical use, whole barley seeds--along with cereals, flour, oil, and other products made from them--are being investigated for treating diabetes, high cholesterol, and obesity. Some evidence from separate studies involving laboratory animals and humans suggests that barley seed products in the diet may improve blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes--possibly because the fiber in barley seeds delays stomach emptying and slows down the absorption of carbohydrates from foods. Barley fiber does not appear to affect blood sugar for individuals who do not have diabetes, though.
