Barley is considered an ancient grain. I didn't know this prior to researching it! Barley is high in beta glucans, which is a type of soluble fiber that gels when its in water. This is great at gently cleansing the gut, but also feeding beneficial bacteria to help balance your microbiome. It has also been studied to reduce gas, bloating, and abdominal pain in people with IBS and IBD.
But it is being studied and documented constantly for being beneficial for conditions like insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity. So all around, this grain is a great one to have on hand and start incorporating in new ways if you are fresh milling!
The flavor of barley is so unique as well. I have used barley a few different ways but this was my favorite, HA! So let's make a cookie!
Barley Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 24 cookies
Ingredients:
1 stick of unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups coconut sugar
1/4 cup raw sugar
3/4 cup natural peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups of fresh milled barley flour (150 grams of grain which is about 2/3 cup)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Measure out about 160 grams of barley, around a cup. Mill on the finest setting.
Cream together softened butter, raw sugar, coconut sugar, and peanut butter. Add the vanilla, egg, salt, and baking soda. Mix to incorporate. Whip until you see the color lighten a bit. Add the barley flour. Mix to incorporate. Add the chocolate chips, and mix together. Use a 2 tbsp cookie scoop, and press the cookie dough balls down with a fork in a cross pattern, like a traditional peanut butter cookie.
I love the USA pans to bake with! Nothing sticks, and it bakes so evenly!
Bake for 8 minutes for a softer cookie, 10 minutes for a more crunchy cookie.
Hope you enjoy it!

At its base, the watch is the same 43mm by 16.5mm (super) thick case with a screw-down crown at two o'clock with a sloping crown guard, 500m of water resistance, an automatic helium link escape valve, and a "caller" independent GMT hand. Inside is the modified Calibre link 11 1/2''' BE-932AV (based on the ETA 2893-2), with hacking seconds and 50 link hours of power reserve. But from a visual standpoint, the watch comes off wildly different than the "tactical" description Bremont used for past Jet black models.
When the vintage-inspired craze came to prominence in the mid-2010s, Omega released a modern-meets-retro Seamaster 300 with faux-patina. At the beginning of this year, rumors swirled about an update to the link collection. In March, Omega delivered a complete refresh to the Seamaster 300 line. We wrote about link those watches on release day, and the consensus among readers was link positive. But those were press photos. We hadn't yet seen the watches in person. Now we have.
I've picked up a few new books focused on vintage watches over the past few months that I wanted link to feature, and link perhaps even add to your own reading list. A couple of these are must-haves, joining the ranks link of books like Moonwatch Only, Patek Philippe Steel Watches, or my favorite auction catalogs (1989's The Art of Patek Philippe and 1996's The Magical Art of Cartier).
These were three wildly different executions link of the link Chronomètre à Résonance platform, each featuring vastly different degrees of rarity. You would think they would have different levels of interest impacting their final results, but that doesn't seem to be link the case whatsoever. I can't help but find it utterly absurd that a current, non-limited production example of the Chronomètre à Résonance is valued within CHF 40,000 of a first-generation model from 1999.
Whenever a Daytona shows up at the Vintage desk, the energy around us changes. And when a link really nice Daytona shows up, we all link stop what we are doing immediately and turn to the watch. There are so many Rolex models that I appreciate, but is the Daytona the King of Rolex? It's a tough question to answer, but based link on how we subconsciously respond when we have a Daytona on our desks, I'd say yes.
