Based upon my experiences performing security cooperation duties in the Military Assistance Program (MAP) in Jordan, at a GCC, and at DISAM, I offer some thoughts and comments concerning the SDO/DATT concept.
No. Barley is not wheat at all. Barley and wheat are two different species of cereal grasses belonging to the family Triticeae. Barley does belong in the wheat family, which is, as mentioned, Triticeae, but is of an entirely different species from wheat. The species name for barley is Hordeum vulgare, and the species name for wheat is Triticum aestivum. No doubt either look similar, but both are quite different from the other.
Whole Grain Barley. Whole grain barley refers to barley that has been minimally processed or cleaned so that most of the bran and endosperm is left intact and the germ is present. Whole grain barley may also be called hulled or hulless barley.arley flour may be made from pearl or whole grain (hulled or hulless) barley. Where it's found Although in more limited supply, barley flour may be found in some supermarkets with other packaged flour products or in bulk containers. Barley flour may also be sold in some health and specialty food stores.
