Barley

[lvcivs]

Isn't barley rich in collagen which promotes wound healing? IIRC I saw it mentioned as one of the reasons for gladiators eating it somewhere. It helps put a fatty layer on top of muscle, or something like that.

Collagen, protein, amino acids, and several vitamins that are important to the healing process, especially in the formation of plasma, platelettes, and new tissue, if I've read the grain's nutritional information correctly.
