  1. pearl barley

    Pearl barley, also known as pearled barley, is a type of whole grain that has been processed to remove its outer husk and bran layers. The grain is then polished or "pearled" to give it a smooth, shiny finish. This process makes pearl barley quicker to cook and easier to digest, but it also removes some of the fiber and nutrients. It's commonly used in soups, stews, salads, or as a side dish.

  1. Pearl barley

    Pearl barley is barley processed to remove its hull and bran. Barley must have its fibrous outer hull removed before it can be eaten; pearl barley is taken a step further, polished to remove the nutritious bran layer. Pearl barley is the most common form of barley for human consumption, probably because it cooks faster and is less chewy than other, less-processed forms of barley. This is in contrast to "hulled barley" or barley groats, which preserves the bran, or "pot barley", in which the bran is not removed. Pearl barley is similar to wheat in its caloric, protein, vitamin and mineral content, though it differs in that some varieties are high in lysine. It is cooked mainly in soups and stews, also as an ingredient for stuffing cooked potages or sweet dishes. It is the primary ingredient of the Italian dish orzotto.
