[QUOTE="diabetesfood please!, post: 762050, member: 159222"] Hi, remember that dieta´ry fiber often is declared as a part of the total carbcontent. also, carbs are different depending on what source it comes from. For instance, Barley contains roughly 76% carbohydrates, 9% protein and 3% fat (rest will be small particles and some water content). Out of the carbs, 11 % is dietary fiber which is not broken down and converted to energy in our bodies but transferred through our gut to colon where microbes help to break som down. Therefore, barley only contains 65% carbs per definition og enegry giving material. Further on, the carbohydrates in barley consist of a higher degree of complexity and is not as readily broken down to glucose after ingestion. Therefore, barley is a great food and alternative to rice or potato. remember that all wholegrains (even brown rice and other wholefoods) are always better due to the higher fiber content and complexity in the kernel. Happy barley day! [/QUOTE]
