Hordeum vulgare

Hulless, wholesome, and adaptable grain, excellent for the home garden or small farm. 

This hulless 6-row barley was a standout in Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance’s heritage grain trials. Here's what they have to say about this variety's history. "It came to our collection through many hands that received it from the late great seed saver Anpetu Oihankesni who collected it in Kinnaur, India, a Himalayan region in Himachal Pradesh state, bordering Tibet. Barley is a staple of this region in both its solid and liquid form. It is one of the few crops not imported and is instead locally grown and marketed. It thrives in drier, mountainous regions, and is a high-yielding spring-planted barley."

Hearty grain -- delicious whole or stone-ground for flour. Excellent addition to soups, and makes great cookies!

Fun fact: ‘Three grains of barley, dry and round, placed end to end lengthwise’ was the model to standardize the size of an inch, way back in 1324 AD.
