Pearl Barley

Pearl barley, or pearled barley, is barley that has been processed to remove its fibrous outer hull and polished to remove some or all of the bran layer. Whole grain barley boasts numerous health benefits besides improving the taste of whatever you cook with it. This wonderfully versatile grain has a rich nut-like flavour and an appealing chewy, pasta-like consistency. Although soup is the most popular way to eat barley, it can be used just like any other grain, such as couscous or rice.
