Schapfen GerstenWonne – with beta-glucan from barley

Barley is a well-known cereal. Special beta-glucan barley (beta®GERSTE) is a variety with a high content of granular, soluble beta-glucan fibre. This "beta®GERSTE" beta-glucan barley is particularly suitable for baking. It guarantees stable water retention at a high dough yield and promotes the particularly long freshness of bread. The doughs are easy to process and are ideally suited to tin loafs.
