Pearl Barley

Pearl Barley

EverydayDry

Pearl barley is a polished whole grain created by removing the inedible outer hull and some bran layers from barley kernels through a process called pearling. While less fibrous than hulled barley, it retains more nutrients than refined grains and provides sustained energy through complex carbohydrates. The pearled grains cook faster than unprocessed barley, developing a pleasantly chewy texture and mild nutty flavor ideal for soups, stews, and grain bowls. Note: Contains gluten.
