Good Sources Of Carbohydrate

Most whole grains have a low Glycemic Index because they contain bran and germ. Refining makes them easier to cook and digest thus raising their Glycemic Indexes because it strips away most of the fiber.

The whole grains that are sources of "good" complex carbohydrates are:

Perl Barley

Buckwheat

Cracked Wheat (Bulgur)

Whole Oats

Here's an example of how you can have your barely salad recipe. You need

2 c. cooked pearl barley

1/2 c. water chestnuts

1 c. celery, chopped

1/4 c. green pepper, chopped

1/4 c. onion, chopped

1 c. ham, cubed

1 pkg. salad dressing mix

1/3 c. sugar (or substitute)

1/4 c. olive oil

1/3 c. pimentos
