GRAINS / BARLEY
First ever barley listing for Seed Savers Exchange! Short; plants measure 2.0-2.8' tall, erect, two-row barley that tillers vigorously. Easy to harvest and process as the outer hulls falls off easily. Given to SSE by Sylvia Davatz (VT DA S) in 2004, who got her seeds from Bountiful Gardens (CV Bou) in 2001. In their 2001 catalog, Bountiful Gardens indicates that they got their seeds from Alan Dong and described this variety as an ancient Biblical, Egyptian, and Tibetan crop which makes a fine flour, porridge, toasted meal, and can be popped.
