Was barley native to the US or brought by someone else?

Barley came from Europe with the earliest European settlers who were uncertain about what cereal grains would be native in the new world and what grains might be grown. They did know that while almost any grain could be used in the production of bread and beer but that barley malt was superior to wheat, rice and emmer. To operate a colony with any chance of success beer would be required. For that reason seed barley was among the items packaged for the venture. It was surely a part of the ship's essential stores that arrived at every early settlement not as iron rations but planned as a potential crop. To create a viable colony vintners, brewers and distillers were all a part of the trades that were included as essential.

What is the difference between wheat barley maize?

Wheat has a more broader and "coarser" seed head than barley, and the tufts/bristles (called awns) are shorter in wheat than barley. Corn or Maize is a much larger cereal grass, with the seeds on a cob enclosed by a sheath. The awns are very floppy and finer than either wheat or corn. Corn can grow up to 10 feet in height whereas barley and wheat only grow up to 4 feet in height.

As far as deciphering individual grains, wheat is darker in colouration than barley. Corn is much different shaped than wheat or barley, having a rounded head as opposed to the sharp oval/diamond shape that wheat and barley have.

Does barley grass contain gluten?

Barley grass (hordeum vulgore) is made from the powdered leaves of young plants and does not contain gluten. The reason is that the plant is at its optimum nutrient value when the young leaves are between 12 cm to 16 cm and before the grain stalk has started to develop. This is the time that it is harvested, dried and powdered. Once the grain stalk has started to develop, the nutrient focus is on growning the stalk and developing the head for the barley grain to grow. This is were the gluten in produced, in the stalk and head of the barley. It is an excellent source of dark green vegetable (chlorophyll) nutrition, rich in dietary fibre (promoting good colon health and regularity, higher than bran). Contains high amounts of minerals, vitamins and proteins, more than most other leafy vegetables. It contains magnesium, calcium beta carotene, more iron than spinach and many other amino acids and enzymes essential for healthy living.
