New Naked Barley 2.0 Zine!
New Barley Zine!
This free zine, Naked Barley 2.0, was produced in 2026 by the Culinary Breeding Network and researchers on the NIFA OREI naked barley project, (some of whom are also involved in the Value-added Grains Project) as well as chefs who participated in outreach events and contributed recipes! goal is to provide organic growers and consumers with healthy, environmentally friendly, and economically viable crop options. The NIFA OREI pro spent nearly a decade evaluating naked barley across the country for agronomic, food, feed, malting, and brewing performance, alongside food quality and
product development work. Many of the recipes included in this zine were
created by OSU team members or collaborator partners for outreach events
during the course of the project. Download the free zine here!
