Due to uniquely high levels of nutrients, protein and fiber, barley is quickly gaining recognition as a versatile food option for health-conscious consumers. The U.S. Grains Council has recognized this market opportunity for barley in Japan, a country whose rapidly aging population is creating increased demand for high quality, healthy foods. The Council capitalized on this potential by sponsoring two advertisements in this month’s edition of the widely-read Japanese health magazine Today’s Health to emphasize the positive health effects of eating U.S. barley.
