It looks like JAU or JO. It is also cultivated like wheat.

Very glad to see that what my former colleague told (that LW is known as JAU or Jo in Hindi) is corroborated by you.

When I meet somebody from Punjab I shall ask. If I get the name of Long Wheat in Punjabi, shall publish it as well.

Thanks,Sir.

Can you send me 1 kg.by regd. parcel?

No, JAU ( barley) is different from Long Wheat. Lw is brownish in colour and little longer in grain size than Emmer Wheat as displayed by your goodself in a photograph .

Long Wheat is what is required for Diabetes, not Barley.

in reply toShooterGeorge

Even though Barley (JAU, in Punjab) is not long Wheat, Barley Dalia, as sold by Patanjali is better than Emmer Wheat.

I had mentioned to meena27 about trying hulled barley. Unbroken will spike lower than broken.

The photograph shows it is Long Wheat but certainly it is not Emmer wheat. Emmer wheat is small in length and white-yellow in colour. Emmer wheat is popularly grown in Punjab but not Long Wheat. Any body living close to Ludhiana can see me or talk at 09592917135.

Thank you for the correction about Emmer wheat. I will try to confirm it and modify accordingly.

Thanks once again.

Dear Readers,

Don't be misled by fraudulents and pay heavily for Emmer( ordinary wheat ). Ordinary wheat is sold @ Rs. 20/= per Kg. in Punjab.

Thank you aks666 for the clarification.

I don't agree, Sir. Kindly visit to Ludhiana and be my family guest. I can take you to the fields and show the emmer wheat grown widely in Punjab. The emmer wheat has spikes like the cockroach and when thrashed, the grain is not long but somewhat bulging at the centre.

Dear Mr. George,

I saw name of LW in Punjabi as "KANAK". We all eat mostly Wheat (Kanak) Flour Chapati in Northern India but I also read some where to avoid Wheat Flour while on LCHF diet due to high contents of Carbs. Please correct me. Thanks.

I have neither purchased 'Khapli' nor it is available in Punjab, but certainlyEmmer wheat is not long wheat.

Hi Anup,

LCHF Diet is increasing uric acid for me.

I don't know what to do...
