Quick Cooking Barley

Quick Cooking Barley

EverydayDry

Quick cooking barley is a pre-steamed whole grain that retains its bran layer, offering a chewy texture and nutty flavor while reducing typical cooking time to 10-15 minutes. This minimally processed form of barley provides a significant source of soluble fiber, particularly beta-glucan known for supporting heart health, and serves as a gluten-containing alternative to grains like quinoa or rice. Its versatility makes it ideal for adding hearty texture to soups, grain bowls, and salads with minimal preparation.
