Description

Pearl barley is barley that has been processed to remove its fibrous outer hull and polished to remove some or all of the bran layer. Originating in the East, Barley Grain was a main staple crop – and the most important bread grain. Nowadays it is mostly used in beer production. Use this whole grain to give body and bulk in stews and soups.
