A key component of barley is beta-glucans, a soluble fiber known for its health benefits. Barley also contains tocopherols and tocotrienols, forms of vitamin E with antioxidant properties that further enhance its nutritional value. Moreover, barley contains hordenine and lunasin, compounds under study for their potential health-promoting effects.

    Cassava

    Description:

    Cassava, also known as yuca, is a starchy root vegetable and a dietary mainstay in numerous tropical and developing nations. Despite its nutritional significance, cassava is not without concern, as it contains potentially harmful cyanogenic glycosides. Ongoing research is directed towards the development of genetically modified variants with reduced toxicity, aiming to mitigate health-related concers associated with its consumption. In addition to its role as a dietary staple, cassava supplements are sometimes marketed as a fertility aid, specifically highlighting an increased probability of conceiving twins. This claim is grounded in the notion that select cassava supplements can induce hyper-ovulation without the adverse effects commonly associated with prescription fertility medications. It is pertinent to note, however, that this assertion currently lacks any substantiation in studies. Beyond its purported use for fertility, available evidence suggests a potential reduction in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes with an increased intake of cassava flour in the diet.
