Why it's good

Dense in the trace minerals your thyroid quietly runs on — copper, iodine and folate — plus enough B6 to keep red cell turnover and afternoon focus steady.

Balances the slow starch of pearl barley with a solid hit of protein, so it settles well as an evening plate without leaving you heavy the next morning.
