[What is Barley ?]

Barley is an annual grass. Barley grass is the leaf of the barley plant, as opposed to the grain. It is capable of growing in a wide range of climatic conditions. Barley grass has greater nutritional value if harvested at a young age.

[How does it work?]

The fiber in barley might lower cholesterol and blood pressure in people with high cholesterol. Barley may also reduce blood sugar and insulin levels. Barley seems to slow stomach emptying. This could help keep blood sugar stable and create a sensation of being full, which might help to control appetite.

This is how I do it. You don’t need to do it this way you can do it like the directions below if you want.

You probably don’t have a good vacuum chamber at home, but you almost certainly have a refrigerator. If you don’t mind waiting a week you can experiment with freeze drying at home using your freezer.
For this experiment you will need a tray, preferably one that is perforated. If you have something like a cake-cooling rack or a metal mesh tray that is perfect. You can use a cookie sheet or a plate if that is all that you have, but the experiment will take longer.
Now you will need something to freeze dry. Three good candidates are apples, potatoes and carrots (Apples have the advantage that they taste OK in their freeze-dried state). With a knife, cut your apple, potato and/or carrot as thin as you can (try all three if you have them…). Paper thin if you can do it. The thinner you cut, the less time the experiment will take. Then arrange your slices on your rack or tray and put them in the freezer. You want to do this fairly quickly, or your potato and/or apple slices will discolor.
In half an hour look in on your experiment. The slices should be frozen solid.
Over the next week look in on your slices. What will happen is that the water in the slices will sublimate away. That is the water in the slices will convert straight from solid water to water vapor, never going through the liquid state (this is the same thing that mothballs do, going straight from a solid to a gaseous state – mothballs are the only thing in a normal person’s life that sublimate naturally). After a week or so (depending on how cold your freezer is and how thick the slices are) your slices will be completely dry. To test apple or potato slices for complete drying, take one slice out and let it thaw. It will turn black almost immediately if it is not completely dry.
When all of the slices are completely dry, what you have is freeze-dried apples, potatoes and carrots. You can “reconstitute” them by putting the slices in a cup or bowl and adding a little boiling water (or add cold water and microwave.) Apples you can eat in their dried state, or you can reconstitute. What you will notice is that the reconstituted vegetables look and taste pretty much like the original! That is why freeze drying is a popular preservation technique.

Out of all the types of plant-based milk, hemp milk is one of the easiest to make at home and it’s one of the most nutritious too. Hemp hearts are quite soft so they don’t require any soaking and you don’t need a special high-speed blender to get it smooth. They are a wonderful source of Omega-3′s and are a complete source of protein.

I wanted to share this recipe ahead of Vegan MoFo because my theme this year is going to be Vegan Cultured Cheese and one of the recipe that I’m planning uses the leftovers from making hemp milk. It’s going to be a delicious, dreamy Vegan Month of Food.

In preparation for this tutorial, I reached out to Manitoba Harvest, a Canadian producer of hemp foods to see if they wanted to be a part of it. They were kind enough to send me a bag AND are providing one to giveaway! So if you want to win a bag of non-GMO Canadian hemp hearts, then make sure you’re subscribed to this channel and leave a comment telling me what you would do with the hemp hearts or making a suggestion on what you think I should do with them. I’ll assign a number to every qualifying comment and use a random number generator to pick the winner. Get your comments on or before September 5th! The winner will be announced soon after.

This giveaway is open to residents of Canada and the USA. But if you don’t live in those countries, don’t fret as I have a couple international givewaways planned for September.

EDIT OCT 21: This giveaway has closed. Congratulations to Marc Lemieux who won the free bag of hemp hearts from Manitoba Harvest.

EASY HEMP MILK RECIPE
Printable Recipe: https://www.marystestkitchen.com/diy-fresh-vegan-hemp-milk/

Ingredients:
1/2 cup shelled hemp hearts
5 cups water, divided
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch sea salt

Directions:
Combine the all the ingredients in a blender.

Blend on high for one to two minutes or until mixture is super smooth.

Strain the hemp milk through a nut milk bag, a jelly bag or a few layers of cheesecloth.

Taste and adjust for sweetness.

Serve immediately or store in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. This type of milk can separate over time; just give it a stir before serving.

Notes:
I love this hemp milk with my coffee, especially with cinnamon and other warming spices.

Also, don’t throw out the hemp heart solids after you strain the milk. You can use it in place of tahini in hummous recipes or to make hemp heart cheeses.
