The opening prose of the 16th book of the Odyssey mentions breakfast as the meal being prepared in the morning before attending to one's chores. Eventually ariston was moved to around noon, and a new morning meal was introduced. In the post-Homeric classical period of Greece, a meal called akratisma
444-474: A meal after fasting . Around the mid-13th century, that meaning of dinner faded away, and around the 15th century "breakfast" came into use in written English to describe a morning meal. In Ancient Egypt , peasants ate a daily meal, most likely in the morning, consisting of soup , beer , bread , and onions before they left for work in the fields or work commanded by the pharaohs . The traditional breakfast believed to have been cooked in ancient Egypt
518-435: A meal). Consuming breakfast cereals containing barley over weeks to months improves cholesterol levels and glucose regulation. Barley contains gluten , which makes it an unsuitable grain for consumption by people with gluten-related disorders , such as coeliac disease , non-coeliac gluten sensitivity and wheat allergy sufferers. Nevertheless, some wheat allergy patients can tolerate barley. Barley, made into malt ,
592-478: A member of the grass family , is a major cereal grain grown in temperate climates globally. It was one of the first cultivated grains ; it was domesticated in the Fertile Crescent around 9000 BC, giving it nonshattering spikelets and making it much easier to harvest . Its use then spread throughout Eurasia by 2000 BC. Barley prefers relatively low temperatures and well-drained soil to grow. It

Each spikelet has a long thin awn (to 160 mm (6.3 in) long), making the ears look tufted. The spikelets are in clusters of three. In six-row barley, all three spikelets in each cluster are fertile; in two-row barley, only the central one
1258-401: Is a form of domesticated barley with an easier-to-remove hull . Naked barley is an ancient food crop, but a new industry has developed around uses of selected hulless barley to increase the digestibility of the grain, especially for pigs and poultry. Hulless barley has been investigated for several potential new applications as whole grain, bran, and flour. In 2022, world production of barley

In Eastern and Central Europe, barley is used in soups and stews such as ričet . In Africa, where it is a traditional food plant, it has the potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development, and support sustainable landcare. The six-row variety bere
1480-636: Is at best mixed. Barley grains were once used for measurement in England, there being nominally three or four barleycorns to the inch. By the 19th century, this had been superseded by standard inch measures. In ancient Mesopotamia , barley was used as a form of money, the standard unit of weight for barley, and hence of value, being the shekel . In the Old English poem Beowulf , and in Norse mythology , Scyld Scefing (the second name meaning "with

In the book The Bible cyclopædia (et al.) published in 1843, it was documented that during this time in the Arab world , Bedouins often utilized locusts mixed with butter for breakfast, spreading the mixture on unleavened bread. In the book The Bible cyclopædia (et al.) published in 1843, it was documented that Egyptians were early risers that sometimes had a first meal consisting of coffee along with
2072-578: Is often assessed by its malting enzyme content. Barley wine is a style of strong beer from the English brewing tradition. An 18th-century alcoholic drink of the same name was made by boiling barley in water, then mixing the barley water with white wine, borage , lemon and sugar. In the 19th century, a different barley wine was prepared from recipes of ancient Greek origin. Nonalcoholic drinks such as barley water and roasted barley tea have been made by boiling barley in water. In Italy, roasted barley
2146-431: Is relatively tolerant of drought and soil salinity but is less winter-hardy than wheat or rye . In 2022, barley was fourth among grains in quantity produced, 155 million tonnes , behind maize , wheat, and rice . Globally, 70% of barley production is used as animal feed , while 30% is used as a source of fermentable material for beer , or further distilled into whisky , and as a component of various foods. It
2220-535: Is sometimes used as coffee substitute, caffè d'orzo (barley coffee). Some 70% of the world's barley production is used as livestock feed, for example for cattle feeding in western Canada. In 2014, an enzymatic process was devised to make a high-protein fish feed from barley, suitable for carnivorous fish such as trout and salmon . Barley straw has been placed in mesh bags and floated in fish ponds or water gardens to help prevent algal growth without harming pond plants and animals. The technique's effectiveness

During the month of Ramadan, Muslims replace traditional breakfast with suhoor , an Islamic term referring to the meal consumed early in the morning by Muslims before sawm during daylight hours. The meal
2886-660: The rachis . In wild barley (and other Old World species of Hordeum ), only the central spikelet is fertile, while the other two are reduced. This condition is retained in certain cultivars known as two-row barleys. A pair of mutations (one dominant, the other recessive) result in fertile lateral spikelets to produce six-row barleys. A mutation in one gene, vrs1 , is responsible for the transition from two-row to six-row barley. Brewers in Europe tend to use two-row cultivars and breweries in North America use six-row barley (or
2960-405: The 15th century, breakfast in western Europe often included meat. By this time, noble men were seen to indulge in breakfast, making it more of a common practice, and by the early 16th century, recorded expenses for breakfast became customary. Breakfast in eastern Europe remained mostly the same as the modern day: a " continental breakfast ". The 16th century introduction of caffeinated beverages into

The word waffle derives from
3626-595: The domestication of barley, in the form of cultivars that cannot reproduce without human assistance, comes from Mesopotamia, specifically the Jarmo region of modern-day Iraq, around 9,000–7,000 BC. Domestication changed the morphology of the barley grain substantially, from an elongated shape to a more rounded spherical one. Wild barley has distinctive genes , alleles , and regulators with potential for resistance to abiotic or biotic stresses ; these may help cultivated barley to adapt to climatic changes. Wild barley has

Eating breakfast meant that one was poor, was a low-status farmer or laborer who truly needed the energy to sustain his morning's labor, or was too weak to make it to the large, midday dinner. In the 13th century, breakfast when eaten sometimes consisted of a piece of rye bread and a bit of cheese. Morning meals would not include any meat, and would likely include 0.4 imperial gallons (1.8 L) of low alcohol-content beers. Uncertain quantities of bread and ale could have been consumed in between meals. By

The first groups known to have produced maple syrup and maple sugar were indigenous peoples living in the northeastern part of North America . According to aboriginal oral traditions, as well as archaeological evidence, maple tree sap
4070-667: The mutant allele . Domestication in barley is followed by the change of key phenotypic traits at the genetic level. The wild barley found currently in the Fertile Crescent may not be the progenitor of the barley cultivated in Eritrea and Ethiopia , indicating that it may have been domesticated separately in eastern Africa. Archaeobotanical evidence shows that barley had spread throughout Eurasia by 2,000 BC. Genetic analysis demonstrates that cultivated barley followed several different routes over time. By 4200 BC domesticated barley had reached Eastern Finland. Barley has been grown in
4144-542: The recipe for Eggs à la Benedick in 1894. In an interview recorded in the "Talk of the Town" column of The New Yorker in 1942, the year before his death, Lemuel Benedict, a retired Wall Street stock broker, said that he had wandered into the Waldorf Hotel in 1894 and, hoping to find a cure for his morning hangover, ordered "buttered toast, poached eggs, crisp bacon, and a hooker of hollandaise".

Among the insect pests of barley are aphids such as Russian wheat aphid , caterpillars such as of the armyworm moth , barley mealybug , and wireworm larvae of click beetle genera such as Aeolus . Aphid damage can often be tolerated, whereas armyworms can eat whole leaves. Wireworms kill seedlings, and require seed or preplanting treatment. Serious fungal diseases of barley include powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis , leaf scald caused by Rhynchosporium secalis , barley rust caused by Puccinia hordei , crown rust caused by Puccinia coronata , various diseases caused by Cochliobolus sativus , Fusarium ear blight , and stem rust ( Puccinia graminis ). Bacterial diseases of barley include bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. translucens . Barley
