Barley water, diluted

Barley water is a drink made from barley. The diluted form described here is prepared by mixing concentrate with water. It consists mainly of water, with carbohydrate, mostly sugars, providing most of its energy. Per 100g, it contains 77 kJ of energy, 4.7g of carbohydrate, 4.3g of sugars and 0.1g of protein. Fat and fibre are present only in trace amounts.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body. The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake, as the amount consumed depends on how much is drunk and how strongly the concentrate is diluted. This drink provides little protein or fibre. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
