Genesis 1;29 And God said,See,I have given you {EVERY}herb that yields seed which is of the face of all the earth,and of every tree whose fruit yields seed;to you it shall be for food.Also,to every beast of the earth,to every bird of the air,and to everthing that creeps on the earth,in which there is life,I have given every green herb for food;and it was so.Barley is mentioned 36 times and wheat is mentioned 51 times according to STRONGS CONCORDANCE!According to Dr. Haiagwara barley is superior to wheat!So in conclusion to ignore barley would be foolish,but to each his own.
