-1 DW) was only detected in premature barley. Statistically higher quantities of Na and K were present in premature barley compared to the other two grain-types (P < _ 0.05), whereas mature barley contained the highest amount of P and Fe (P < 0.05). All three grain-types contained similar levels of Ca and Cu. Mature barley contained the highest betaine and choline (49.44 mg 100 g -1 DW and 34.61 mg 100 g -1 DW, respectively). The results indicate that premature barley is nutritionally superior to de-hulled barley.
