Barley is one of the world's earliest cultivated grains, appearing in traditional diets across the globe. Today it is predominantly grown for animal feed and malt for use in alcoholic beverages. We supply Barley from European Union, Australia and Canada.
Most well known as a source of malt in the fermenting process for beer, barley was one of the world's first cultivated grains and is also a valuable feedstock and ingredient in commercially produced bread, cereal and soup products.
With a high fibre content and cholesterol lowering qualities, barley is also recognised for its intestinal health benefits, making it highly desirable for human consumption.
Grown across Australia, in a variety of soil and climatic environments, barley has benefitted from research into the prevention of pest and disease, making it one of the most resilient crops produced for export.
With excellent working relationships with Australian barley growers, and a stringent bulk handling, storage and transport standards for export, the Nzac Foods team offer exceptional logistical and delivery systems at competitive prices.
