- Barley, the oldest cultivated grain, is grown all over the world, in climates as varied as the Arctic Circle and the tropics. Although we are most familiar with barley as an ingredient in soup, it is an excellent grain for a vegetarian main course. It is high in protein and soluble fiber, as well as a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals. It is also extremely satisfying and delicious.
