Barley contains eight essential amino acids.  According to a 2006 study, eating whole-grain barley can regulate blood sugar (i.e. reduce blood glucose response to a meal) for up to 10 hours after consumption compared to white or even whole-grain wheat, which have similar glycemic indices.   The effect was attributed to colonic fermentation of indigestible carbohydrates.
