Jet Black Barley - Organic Cover Crop Seeds
🚚 FREE SHIPPING for all orders over $79!
Jet Black Barley produces striking purple-black hulled grains long valued for malting, roasting, and hearty porridges. Fast growing and well suited to cool weather, it also serves as an excellent cover crop—building biomass, helping reduce erosion, and shading out weeds.
Sow in early spring or fall, then harvest grain when heads are dry and shatter easily, or cut earlier for cover crop use before seed set. Barley offers soluble fiber, including beta-glucans associated with heart health. Grow it for home brewing experiments, soil-building cover, or a beautiful and useful stand of grain.
